The joint military exercise comprising troops from India and Mongolia began in the country's northeastern state of Meghalaya on Wednesday.

"Indian contingent comprising of 45 personnel is being represented by a Battalion of SIKKIM SCOUTS along with personnel from other arms and services. The Mongolian contingent is being represented by personnel from 150 Quick Reaction Force Battalion of the Mongolian Army," India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) said on Wednesday.

The exercise named Nomadic Elephant is aimed at enhancing the joint military capabilities of both countries.
During the exercise which began on July 3, soldiers from the two sovereign states will undertake counter-insurgency operations, and showcase tactical drills, including their response to a terror threat.

"The exercise will also facilitate developing inter-operability, bonhomie and camaraderie between the two armies. This will also enhance the level of defence cooperation, further augmenting bilateral relations between the two friendly nations," the statement added.
