    The 16th edition of the India-Mongolia Joint Military Exercise “Nomadic Elephant” began at the Foreign Training Node, Umroi in Meghalaya on Wednesday.

    The exercise is scheduled to conclude on July 16. The Indian contingent consists of 45 personnel, represented by a battalion of Sikkim Scouts, along with personnel from various other arms and services.

    The Mongolian contingent participating in Exercise Nomadic Elephant is represented by personnel from the 150 Quick Reaction Force Battalion of the Mongolian Army. This annual training event alternates between India and Mongolia, with the last edition held in Mongolia in July 2023.

The exercise will specifically focus on operations in semi-urban and mountainous terrain, simulating real-world scenarios to improve interoperability and tactical skills between the two militaries.
