Nomadic Elephant-2024

July 2, 2024

The 16th “Nomadic Elephant” Joint Military Exercise will take place between the Indian Army and the Mongolian Army from July 3, 2024, to July 16, 2024. They are going to do this military drill in Umroi, Meghalaya. The goal of the exercise is to improve the two forces’ ability to work together and communicate during semi-normal operations in semi-urban and mountainous areas, as directed by the UN.

Objective and Significance of the Exercise

‘Nomadic Elephant’s’ main goal is to help players get better at tactical and operational skills in joint action situations. The goal of the practice is to get both armies ready for UN peacekeeping missions by focusing on semi-conventional warfare. This makes it easier for them to work together in different environments, which improves military relations and shared understanding.

Historical Context and Recent Developments

“Nomadic Elephant” takes place every year in India and Mongolia, switching between the two countries. Mongolia took care of the 15th version of the exercise in Ulaanbaatar. Indian troops from the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry Regiment were among those there, and Mongolia was represented by Armed Forces Unit 084. The ongoing drills show that the two countries are working together strongly on the military level, which is in line with their stronger strategic ties. In May 2023, the 12th Joint Working Group meeting looked over and moved forward with defense cooperation projects. This showed that the resolve to strengthen military ties was still strong.

Future Impact

The continuation of the “Nomadic Elephant” series shows that India and Mongolia are becoming more strategic partners, especially when it comes to defense. Both countries want to strengthen their cooperation and readiness to handle complex military operations by holding regular high-level military drills. This will help keep the peace and stability in their areas and beyond.
