India, Bangladesh to kick off combat exercise in Mizoram next week

HIGHLIGHTS

• The aim behind “Exercise Sampriti”, which will be conducted from November 6 to 18, is to enhance interoperability between the two armies
• The two armies will also hold a joint training capsule on anti-terror operations from November 13 to December 10 at the Danapur Cantonment in Bihar

NEW DELHI: The Indian and Bangladeshi armies are all set to hold an intensive combat exercise at the Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairengte in Mizoram from next week as part of the overall policy to bolster bilateral military ties.

The aim behind "Exercise Sampriti", which will be conducted from November 6 to 18, is to enhance interoperability between the two armies while conducting counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in a semi-mountainous jungle terrain.

"Sampriti will include a field training exercise at Vairengte, which will include heli-borne operations and neutralization of IEDs, and a command post exercise called Milap at the Umroi cantonment in Meghalaya," said an officer.

Interestingly, the two armies will also hold a joint training capsule on anti-terror operations from November 13 to December 10 at the Danapur Cantonment in Bihar. "The capsule's main aim will to be train junior commanders of the Bangladesh Army in effectively handling such operations," he added.

The Indian armed forces, seeking closer cooperation on the counter-terrorism front, are working towards "building capacity'' of the Bangladesh military, which ranges from training and exercises to military supplies and defence technologies. Bangladesh, of course, is another country in India's neighbourhood where China has made some strategic inroads over the last several years.

India, for instance, provides 90 vacancies for different courses in its military establishments and academies for the Bangladeshi armed forces every year. There is also a tailor-made training programme for 100 Bangladeshi soldiers at the Mechanized Infantry Regimental Centre at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra.


Moreover, the Indian Army, Navy and IAF hold regular staff-level talks with their Bangladeshi counterparts. India, for instance, has been holding direct Army-to-Army staff talks with Bangladesh since 2009 to chalk out the cooperation between the two forces in the years ahead.

The importance of the talks can be gauged from the fact that India has similar staff talks with just a handful of countries, which include US, UK, Israel, France, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.


Similarly, the bilateral naval cooperation has been traditionally strong, encompassing a wide span to include operational interactions through training, port calls, passage exercises along with "capability building and capacity augmentation initiatives". The Bangladeshi Navy is also the present chair of the Indian Ocean Symposium (IONS), which is a multilateral maritime cooperation platform launched by the Indian Navy.

Dont see any problem with it. If BA can take some more jungle war techniques from the exercise its good for them. Traditionally they used to get the jungle warfare training from Srilanka. Also the exercise will happen in Indian NE region,so BA will have better understanding of environment about that area. Also will help in case of an war with Burma, you know civilization and urbanization is yet to reach there and covered with more jungle

I was not insulting individual officers. I was insulting the army as a whole who saw fit to undertake training exercise with our primary enemy whilst that enemy is actively supporting another enemy engaged in ethnic cleansing of Muslims and pushing those people into BD.

You have to under the circumstance question the point of an organisation whose actions seem to run counter to national interest and its stated purpose.

It is all very well being patriotic but you need see dangers when it's in front of you. What does this action say about BD armies engagement doctrine. To me atleast there is something fundamentally rotten at its core and it is not an organisation that that can relied upon to protect our sovereignty. You can not fight when you do not even know who your enemy is. You can not prepare nor direct any resistance when there is no focus nor purpose.

Bangladesh army have 25 years long jungle warfare experience fighting indian backed santi bahini terrorists. Who you fu$$ing kidding here??? This is the example of your "star mark" intellect? Rather you @ENFJ (-A / -T) is prime example of awami league waste doing indian bidding.

"in cas war with Burma" - you don't have iota of shame. When Myanmar army continuously attacked, your awami league and its army commands were hiding in hole. What an extremist awami joker talking about war!

IQ my a$$, BA officers recruited in last 10 years are mostly awami cadres and busy making money from awami construction business.

You can not insult the organization either. Its all political decision made earlier this year "defense deal". You could only blame AL for this which also faced tremendous opposition from the BA which ultimately affected PMs schedule 4 times b4 her visits to India. Anyways,within the current situation I think you can scrape from enemies most while you are amongst them not isolating yourself.

So, you admit awami league sold Bangladesh army to india in order to be in power. And Bangladesh army taking that subservient role with stride. What does that make of Bangladesh army top brass??? Bunch of traitors who promised to uphold Bangladesh sovereignty BUT doing just opposite.

After fighting 25 years of indian terrorists in jungle and mountains, there is not much left for any army to gain more. NE landscape more or less same as CHT where Bangladesh army fought indian terrorists. So don't try to invent rubbish out of your indian awami subservient mind, that is not gullible.
