Indo-Oman Joint Army Exercise ‘AL NAGAH-II 2017’ will be
conducted between the Indian and Oman Army from 06 to 19 March 2017 in the
Dhauladhar Ranges at Bakloh in Himachal Pradesh. This is the second joint
military exercise between the two countries which have a history of extensive
cooperation in the defence arena, the first one was held in Oman in January
2015.
The participating troops for this exercise have been drawn
from one Infantry Battalion each from the Indian Army and the Royal Army of
Oman. Approximately sixty troops from both the countries will participate in
the exercise. The aim of the exercise is to build and promote bilateral Army to
Army relations and enhance interoperability while exchanging skills and
experiences between the Indian Army and the Royal Army of Oman. An added aim of
the exercise is to qualitatively enhance knowledge of each other’s military
procedures thus increasing the scope for interoperability and better
responsiveness to a common threat.
The Indian troops have undergone extensive training on rock
craft, slithering, Counter Terrorism or Low Intensity Conflict Operations, in
addition to tactical drills of close cordon and house intervention drills to
fulfill the mandate of the joint exercise.
The fourteen day exercise with the Royal Army of Oman is
scheduled to be conducted in multiple modules in order to achieve complete
integration between the two contingents at every stage. The vast experience and
expertise gained by the Indian troops in Counter Insurgency operations holds
special importance to the Oman Army. Conduct of the joint exercise would
therefore set the stage for greater defence cooperation between the two
nations.
