Amphibious landing is a term used for ground troops being indicted on the seashore from the ships under covering fire from the warships and aircraft.
The current exercise is critical for enhancing capabilities and to test India’s response in a synergised manner with the Army, Navy, and Air Force coming together, keeping in mind threats from China in the seas.
A similar exercise took place recently along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh and the Line of Control (LOC) facing Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir.
In November, the Indian Army organised a theatre-level exercise with 30,000 troops in the western sector, aimed at fighting future wars with synergy among forces.
The Indian Army, Indian Air force, Indian Navy, Border Security Force, Indian Coast Guard, and National Intelligence Organisations were part of the exercise.
