in the deserts of Rajasthan, to carryout annual summer exercise.
Presently, the formations are practising their battle drills in the
designated training areas.
The
collective training started with honing up of basic battle procedures and
tactical drills at tactical level. A number of field firings are
being carried out to check the accuracy and lethality of the weapon
systems. A large number of innovations and modifications carried
out by units and formations to enhance combat power are being tested in the
field.
