During the joint military exercise, the 2 nations will practice launching relief efforts in case of natural calamities. Focus will also be on humanitarian & some anti-terrorism operations.
In ongoing exercise at Auli, US soldiers of 2nd Brigade of 11th Airborne Division & jawans from Assam Regiment are focusing specifically on high-altitude & extremely cold warfare.
Frank Kendall, Secretary of the US Air Force, says the unescorted access to Pentagon for Indian defence attaché 'is aligned with the trust and cooperation we share'.
