Dharma Guardian 2026: Indian Army vows to deepen counter terror cooperation with Japan

Описание: The seventh edition of the India–Japan joint military exercise Dharma Guardian concluded in Chaubatia, Uttarakhand, with troops from the Indian Army and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force taking part in intensive training focused on counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations. A key highlight was the 48-hour validation drill ‘Asahi Shakti’, simulating real-world terrorist threat scenarios. The exercise involved terrain analysis, patrols, ambushes, cordon-and-search operations, heliborne missions, room intervention and hostage rescue drills. Soldiers also trained in urban warfare and combat operations in mountainous terrain. Beyond military training, troops from both countries celebrated Holi together, reflecting strong cultural ties and growing defence cooperation between India and Japan.
