New Delhi: The Indian military is conducting its largest tri-services exercise, Trishul, in the country's western sector and the Arabian Sea. The two-week operation, which began on October 30, aims to test the military's operational readiness and strengthen synergy among the three services and other organizations. The exercise involves tens of thousands of soldiers, fighter jets, warships, submarines, tanks, artillery guns, and other advanced systems. It is being conducted across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and the Arabian Sea, with different elements unfolding in a series of drills. One of the key aspects of the exercise is the joint operation in the Kutch sector, where the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Border Security Force are rehearsing integrated operational capability. This reflects a military-civil fusion approach to national security. The exercise has significant implications in the wake of the four-day confrontation with Pakistan in May, following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. India's military response, Operation Sindoor, marked a direct military response to the attack. The final phase of the exercise will culminate with large-scale amphibious drills off the Saurashtra coast, featuring beach landing operations and validating full-spectrum land-sea-air integration. The exercise area also covers the Sir Creek sector, which separates Gujarat from Pakistan's Sindh province. The Indian military's ability to project power across multiple domains is being showcased through the exercise, which involves the Western Naval Command, South Western Air Command, and the Army's Western Command. The exercise is seen as a demonstration of India's military might and its ability to respond to any potential threats in the region.
