The Indian Army and the Indian Air force recently conducted a joint exercise, ‘Vayu Prahar’.
“The conduct of the Vayu Prahar exercise enabled coordination and rehearsal among various agencies for quick mobilization, transportation, and deployment of forces within a theatre which can be executed across theatres."
The special forces also participated along with the Army and the Navy in the 96-hour exercise which was held in the eastern theatre.
The scope of the exercise included the rapid mobilization of an earmarked Rapid Reaction Force from the hinterland to undertake air-landed operations in a nominated Advance Landing Ground.
The air-landed force further executed contingency tasks as per a realistic exercise scenario in challenging high-altitude terrain conditions.
