Myanmar Army to train with Indian Army in Meghalaya from Monday

The bilateral exercise will be conducted at the Joint Training Node of the Indian Army at Umroi, about 30 km from Shillong, the Meghalaya capital. The Indian Army delegation would have 16 officers, Lt Col Newton said. “While the Indian Army has a rich experience of serving in UNPKO, the focus of this six-day joint exercise will be on training the Myanmar Army delegation on the various tactics, procedures, expertise and methodology required by the contingent of the member nations for serving in UNPKO,” he said.

Earlier this month the Joint Training Node of the Indian Army at Umroi had conducted a joint training exercise between Army officers of Bangladesh and India. While the aim of that joint exercise was to build and promote positive relations between the two armies, it also focused on enhancing interoperability between the two nations and enrich from each other’s experiences while carrying out counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations.
