The Indian Army recently concluded Exercise Brahmashira in Gujarat’s Rann and Creek Sector as part of the wider Tri-Services Exercise Trishul. This large-scale operation brought together the Army, Navy, Air Force, Indian Coast Guard, and Border Security Force in close coordination with civil administration, emphasising seamless cooperation and rapid integrated response across land, sea, and air.

Exercise Brahmashira underpins the Army’s Decade of Transformation strategy. Joint Task Forces operated under a state-of-the-art Joint Control Centre, with substantial operational infrastructure built to support multi-domain operations.

This rigorous training validated new force structures, advanced battlefield technologies, and adaptive warfighting capabilities suited to evolving threats.

India’s Armed Forces are focused on strengthening Jointness, Atmanirbharta (self-reliance), and Innovation. Southern Command formations are participating in a series of Trishul-linked exercises to ensure full-spectrum land-sea-air integration. The exercises highlighted mission-focused validations that enable India to respond decisively across operational domains.

Exercise Trishul showcased the Armed Forces’ expanding proficiency in electronic warfare, cyber resilience, drone and counter-drone operations, and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance). Air Defence Control and Reporting systems were exercised to enable joint fires and coordinated multi-domain operations.

Within the Thar Desert, Southern Command conducted Exercises MaruJwala and Akhand Prahaar. These intensive manoeuvres validated combined arms operations, joint mobility, and precision targeting under realistic combat conditions. The integrated training reaffirmed the Army’s emphasis on transformation through operational validation.

A joint exercise in the Kutch Sector, involving all major security forces and civil administration, exemplified India’s Whole-of-Nation approach to integrated national security. Military-Civil Fusion is at the forefront, enabling layered, rapid response to complex scenarios and reinforcing deterrence posture.

Exercise Trishul operated as a testbed for the Indian Army’s Decade of Transformation agenda, founded upon five core pillars—Jointness and Force Integration, Force Restructuring, Modernisation and Technological Infusion, Systemic Improvements, and Human Resource Enhancement. These reforms are directed at adapting to future warfare and maintaining operational superiority.

The Indian Army restated its commitment to continuous evolution in doctrine and capability, positioning itself as a Future-Ready Force able to respond to emerging challenges across the full spectrum of conflict.

The successful execution of multi-domain exercises during Trishul strongly demonstrated preparedness, innovation, and self-reliance within India’s integrated defence framework.
