Indian Armed forces are among the most powerful in the world. Fifth most powerful to be

precise. The armed forces include three professional services-Indian Army, Indian Air Force

and Indian Navy. The Indian Armed forces are supported by Indian Coast Guard, paramilitary

organisations and other allied forces.

The President of India is the Supreme Commander of the forces. Coming under the Ministry of

Defence, the Indian military forces have active 1.4 million personnel serving. Additionally, it is

the world's largest volunteer army

1947 was the year India got independence. It was also the year when the subcontinent was

bifurcated into two independent nations-India and Pakistan. Bifurcation was not only made on

the territorial lines but also in terms of resources. Accordingly, the forces were divided too, in

terms of personnel, ships, divisions and aircrafts.

In January 1949, KM Cariappa became the first Indian Commander-in-Chief. In 1954, Air

Marshal Subroto Mukherjee became the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Air

Force. And in the same year, Vice Admiral Ram Dass Katari became the first Chief of Naval Staff.

One of the first conflicts Indian Armed forces had to face was just after independence, the

Indo-Pakistan war of 1947-48. This war was fought over the then princely state of Jammu and

Kashmir. The war ended with a ceasefire being declared on December 31, 1948. It concluded

with 65% of the territory under Indian control and rest under Pakistan's.

Apart from 1947 Indo-Pakistan war, the two countries engaged in conflicts on multiple

occasions-1965, 1971 and 1999.

In 1961, tensions rose between India and Portugal over the territory of Goa under the Portugal

occupancy. This conflict was popularly known as Operation Vijay. The operation lasted for 36

hours, post which the Portugal forces retracted from Goan territory, after over 450 years of

colonial rule.

Evolution of Defence Forces in India since Independence:

India and Portugal-1961:

The Sino-India war of 1962 was between India

and China. The conflict over the Himalayan

border was the main reason behind the war,

however, tensions were growing since the time

India started hosting Tibetan refugees. On

November 21, China extended the unilateral

ceasefire.

In 1971 war between India and Pakistan happened

during the l iberation in East Pakistan (now

Bangladesh). The war lasted for 13 days and ended with

Pakistani signing the Instrument of Surrender. On

December 16, 1971, East Pakistan was formed into

Bangladesh.

The Kargil conflict of 1999 was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan in Kargil district of

Kashmir. The infiltration of Pakistani troops into the Indian side of the LoC resulted in the

conflict. The conflict lasted for over two months. Conclusively, Pakistan withdrew its forces and

July 26 since then has been celebrated as the Kargil Vijay Diwas every year.

The Indian Armed Forces, apart from defending the borders, are also involved in various

nation-building operations. Its contribution during natural calamities is of prime significance.

In recent time, Indian Armed Forces have worked with the state machinery to help during

Kerala floods of 2018, Cyclone Fani in Odisha and the Assam floods, among many others.

Indian Armed Forces have also been active participators in the UN peacekeeping missions. So

far, India has participated in over 40 peacekeeping missions and has contributed about 2 lakh

troops. In 2014, India became the third-largest troop contributor.

International military exercises are an extension of military training for partner countries and

a significant military diplomacy tool. Since 2012, the Indian armed forces have engaged more

than 20 countries in international military exercises

Introduction

Training of and with military personnel of partner countries has a dual impact:

In capacity building in the partner country;

In generating an understanding between two militaries in terms of

professionalism, procedures and processes, and the military ethos.

International Military Exercises

The Indo-Pakistan war of 1965 was followed by Operation Gibraltar launched by Pakistan into

Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian retaliated and this war saw the engagement of the largest

tank battle since World War II. The war lasted for 17 days and resulted in casualties on both

sides. The United Nations intervened and the Tashkent Declaration was signed.

Sharing of military training aspects through international military exercises is one of the most

effective confidence-building measures (CBMs) between partners. It helps in understanding

the intent and perspectives of participants and normally gives a boost to bilateral ties.

For military alliance partners, joint military exercises are an operational necessity to ensure

interoperability of operational, communication related, logistical as well as procedural

aspects. Failure to achieve synergy in these aspects would result in suboptimal operational

execution.

However, for countries like India which are not part of any military alliance, the objective of

international military exercises is not only to learn from the best operational practices of

others but also to gain from their maintenance, logistical and administrative experiences.

Exposure to technological advances, associated problems and varied operational

environment management assists all participants in enhancing their individual capabilities

and helps in charting a future course of action based on realistic appraisal.

Besides operational objectives, international military exercises are designed to

institutionalise a framework for quick and efficient HADR missions.

Joint military exercises provide the necessary impetus to such an understanding and play a

pivotal role in efficient aid disbursement in the provision of humanitarian assistance and

conduct of disaster relief (HADR) situations. Operation Maitri is a good example of efficient

support provided by the Indian armed forces to Nepal in the aftermath of the earthquake that

struck the country in April 2015.

Due to these reasons, a large number of structured military exercises are planned and

executed in various regions of the world every year.

According to the Annual Reports of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Government of India, from

2011–12 to 2015–16, the Indian armed forces have been engaging a number of countries

through regular international military exercises in India and abroad

The Indian Army has expanded the engagement envelope for international exercises focused

on various domains of warfare that are decided mutually with the partner countries. The

Indian Navy regularly exercises with various foreign navies at both at bilateral and multilateral

levels in three participative formats: passage exercises (PASSEX); occasional exercises; and

institutionalised exercises

Institutionalised exercises are conducted on regular basis with partner countries in areas of

maritime interest, with the scope and content progressively enhanced for traditional and non-

traditional maritime challenges.13 Exercise Malabar (with the US since 1992); Exercise

Thammar-al-Tayyib, renamed as Exercise Naseem-al-Bahr in 2007 (with Oman since 1993);

SIMBEX (with Singapore since 1994); Exercise Varuna (with France since 2001) etc., all into this

category

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has come a long way after its first international exercise with

participation of fighter aircraft, Exercise Garuda-I with France, in India in 2003. Other exercises

in various formats have also been conducted since then.

The location, time, scale and nature of participants, and stated objectives of an international

military exercise can be selected to send a signal to a common adversary.

The Indian policy of engagement with neighbours indicates 55 per cent share for Asian

countries in international military exercises. Africa's share, at just 4 per cent, is considerably

lower than its strategic significance.

the largest engagement is by the Indian Army .The probable reason for this is the multiple roles

that being the largest of the three services, the army needs to play in the prevailing

environment in counter-insurgency/terrorist operations, special operations and disaster

relief. A large number of international military exercises, in fact, are focused on these

themes.15 The navy, owing to its nature, has been involved in international port calls and anti-

piracy operations, and as it continuously operates in international waters it needs to

coordinate and synchronise operations with the other players there.

The number of participants in a military exercise should be decided based on the following:

objectives that are sought to be achieved, the level(s) of engagement, equipment profile,

language and common interests. Bilateral exercises result in greater interaction between the

participants and a focused approach for the achievement of objectives. However, multilateral

exercises allow for simultaneous engagement with multiple countries, thus making the

process more efficient

Strategically, international military exercises assist in forging a bond between participating

nations and enhance the level of cooperation between them.

This cooperation in military affairs has the potential to expand to other arenas, especially

related to technology, human resources, training, education and the economy.

Mutual benefits from this expansion lead to greater synergy and a cohesive policy formulation.

International defence cooperation is an imperative for building our capabilities to deal with

how we envisage our current and emerging role in the international arena.

International military exercises are, thus, efficient tools to engage partnering nations and

enhance existing relationships. These exercises actively support military diplomacy along with

other aspects such as military training, port calls, delegation visits, and combat equipment

support.

Besides projecting Indian capabilities and enabling doctrinal learning, such exercises assist in

benchmarking our capabilities against international standards.
