A unit of 120 soldiers from the Indian Army’s Rajputana Rifles (Raj Rif) is traveling to Sri Lanka for the 10th edition of “Mitra Shakti” starting Aug 12, 2024.
The focus of this year’s exercise is on joint operations in semi-urban environments, aligning with Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, which deals with actions regarding threats to peace and security.
“Mitra Shakti” aims to improve the operational proficiency of both armies by facilitating the exchange of skills, experiences, and best practices.
The previous edition of “Mitra Shakti” took place in Pune, India, at the Aundh Military Station, with troops from the Maratha Light Infantry Regiment participating.
