Newdelhi:12/10/25:An Indian Army contingent comprising 120 personnel departed yesterday for Irwin Barracks, Perth, Australia, to participate in the fourth edition of the India-Australia joint military Exercise AUSTRAHIND 2025, scheduled to be conducted from 13th to 26th October 2025.
The Indian Army contingent is led by a Battalion of the Gorkha Rifles, along with troops from other arms and services.
The annual Exercise AUSTRAHIND 2025 aims to enhance military cooperation, improve interoperability, and provide a platform for participating armies to exchange tactics, techniques, and procedures in the domains of sub-conventional warfare in urban and semi-urban terrain.
The exercise will focus on joint company-level operations in open and semi-desert terrain, wherein troops will undertake missions ranging from joint planning, tactical drills, and special arms skills. It will offer a valuable opportunity to hone operational capabilities, integrate emerging technologies, and operate jointly in a combat environment.
Participation in Exercise AUSTRAHIND 2025 will further strengthen defence cooperation and foster camaraderie between Indian and Australian Army troops, thereby reinforcing the spirit of collaboration and mutual trust.
