Tanks at Teesta Field Firing Range
Guwahati: In a powerful demonstration of operational preparedness and joint force integration, the Indian Army recently conducted “Exercise Teesta Prahar” at the Teesta Field Firing Range in Assam.
It is pertinent to mention here that the exercise, which was carried out in the riverine terrain, also happened at a time when India’s Operation Sindoor was underway, striking against Pakistan-sponsored terror infrastructures and subsequently carried out retaliatory strikes against Pakistan’s military attacks against Indian military bases.
Set in a demanding riverine terrain, the large-scale integrated field exercise validated the combat effectiveness and coordination of various arms and services under realistic battlefield conditions.
The exercise saw active participation from key combat and support elements, including Infantry, Artillery, Armoured Corps, Mechanised Infantry, Para Special Forces, Army Aviation, Engineers, and Signals.
A highlight of the drill was the deployment and validation of newly inducted next-generation weapons systems, military platforms, and advanced battlefield technologies, reflecting the Indian Army’s continued focus on modernization.
The exercise focused on jointness, synergy, and seamless coordination, reinforcing the Army’s ability to execute operations swiftly and effectively in diverse terrain and challenging weather.
Tactical drills, battle rehearsals, and adaptive maneuvers were conducted to fine-tune responses to dynamic combat scenarios.
‘Teesta Prahar’ reaffirmed the Indian Army’s commitment to combat excellence, technological advancement, and all-terrain operational readiness, standing as a testament to its unwavering focus on mission preparedness and integrated war-fighting capability.
