Exercise ‘Dibang Shakti’ was carried out by the Spear Corps of the Indian Army in Arunachal Pradesh’s Dibang Valley district. The high-intensity exercise reflected on and underscored the Army’s readiness and preparedness to deal with unconventional threats along India's eastern borders.
Carried out in the Valley district's dense jungles and steep mountains under the harsh weather, the aim of the exercise was to test asymmetric warfare capabilities and rapid-response readiness in extreme environments, Guwahati-based Defence spokesperson Lt Col Mahendra Rawat said.
The troops demonstrated advanced combat skills across multiple tactical domains, including jungle warfare, survival techniques, and combat free-fall operations. Physical endurance, tactical brilliance, and mental resilience were demanded of the exercise as soldiers manoeuvred through uncharted terrain under simulated battlefield conditions, the spokesperson further added.
'Dibang Shakti' highlighted the focus of the Indian Army on holistic combat preparedness through seamless inter-arm coordination and the use of cutting-edge technologies. It then reinforced the ability of Indian troops to respond swiftly to evolving threats in high-altitude and jungle warfare scenarios.
The exercise turned out to be a success; therefore, it not only strengthened the morale and patriotic spirit of the soldiers but also reaffirmed the Army's motto of remaining ever-prepared. It reflected the sustained emphasis on innovation, adaptability, and operational excellence to safeguard the nation's sovereignty, Rawat said.
