The live firing exercise focused on further enhancing combat integration and operational effectiveness through synchronized employment of mechanized forces, artillery, air defence units, Army Aviation assets including ALH-WSI and Apache helicopters, along with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Counter-UAS capabilities, demonstrating seamless synergy across land, air and digital domains. During the review, the Army Commander interacted with troops on the ground and commended all ranks for their exemplary training standards, professionalism and operational preparedness, while lauding their ability to execute complex missions with speed, precision and cohesion. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐓𝐈’ stands as testimony to the Indian Army’s ongoing transformation, where organizational innovation, tactical evolution and technological integration are advancing together.

Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, #SouthernCommand, witnessed #ShauryaSquadron of the #IndianArmy in action during a high-tempo integrated mechanised manoeuvre exercise at #Babina Field Firing Ranges. Pioneered by #WhiteTigerDivision of #SudarshanChakraCorps, #ShauryaSquadron represents a modern tactical construct for Multi-Domain Operations, drawing upon the AirLand Battle concept to integrate air and land capabilities across the depth of the battlespace through surveillance, manoeuvre and precision fires for faster decisions and decisive combat effect. Fielded in a realistic battle environment, #ShauryaSquadron demonstrated the seamless integration of real-time surveillance assets with mechanised forces, attack helicopters, swarm strikes and coordinated firepower, enhancing battlefield awareness, compressing the sensor-to-shooter cycle and enabling swift, decisive battlefield response. On culmination of the exercise, the Army Commander lauded the formation for exercising an innovative tactical capability aligned with the Indian Army’s ongoing transformation towards integrated and technology-driven warfighting. Interacting with the Squadron, he exhorted all ranks to remain professionally agile, technologically proficient and operationally aligned to deliver decisive effect across the full spectrum of Multi-Domain Operations. #DecadeOfTransformation #YearOfNetworkingAndDataCentricity #TechAbsorption ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Ministry of Defence, Government of India रक्षा मंत्री कार्यालय/ RMO India PRO Defence Pune
