The exercise assumes significance due to the nuclear test by North Korea and China’s growing assertiveness in the South China sea. "Multiple scenarios will be rehearsed during the


exercise with a view to understand each-others organisational structure and battle procedures... that would further facilitate interoperability between the armed forces of both countries to


meet any unforeseen contingency across the globe," the Army said. It is the 13th edition of the joint military exercise. It said both armies will jointly train, plan and execute a


series of well-developed operations for "neutralisation of threats of varied nature. In the end a joint exercise will be undertaken in an operational setting under a UN mandate,"


said the Army. _(With inputs from PTI)_
