Indo-French Joint Millitary Training.


        The first ever Indo-French joint military training exercise, Shakti, concluded at Chaubattia, Uttarakhand. The French Army was represented by 4 officers and 50 troops of the 13 Mountain Infantry Battalion, while an equal number of officers and troops participated from Second Battalion the Bihar Regiment, under the aegis of 99 Mountain Brigade of the Indian Army. Shakti was aimed not only at training troops in counter terrorist operations, but also in enhancing defence cooperation and military relations between the two nations. It has provided an ideal platform for the personnel of the two countries to share their experiences on counter terrorist operations; especially in mountainous terrain.
