The large-scale exercise, held in response to the increasing complexity of non-conventional threats and a heightened security environment, was led by the Indian Army. PIC/DEFENCE PRO

The exercise brought together units from the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, Indian Coast Guard, Force One (Maharashtra), and Mumbai Police

The two-day drill aimed to enhance inter-agency coordination, assess readiness levels, and test integrated responses to a range of multi-dimensional security scenarios

Key operations rehearsed during the exercise included coordinated tactical response drills, rapid deployment operations, area sanitisation and threat neutralisation, casualty evacuation procedures, joint command and control simulations

All scenarios were executed under time-bound conditions to replicate high-pressure, real-world environments

This, officials noted, was essential to refining interoperability, streamlining communication, and reinforcing cohesive action among the various services

Senior leadership from all participating agencies oversaw the operations, ensuring standard operating procedures (SOPs) were rigorously tested and adhered to
