The 20th edition of the India-USA Joint Military Exercise ‘Yudh Abhyas 2024’ conducted from 9 to 22 September 2024, at Mahajan Field Firing Ranges, Rajasthan. Women soldiers from both India and the US played pivotal roles in every phase of the exercise in Yudh Abhyas 2024.
600 Indian Army personnel from the RAJPUT Regiment and a similar-sized U.S. contingent from the 1-24 Battalion of the 11th Airborne Division, Alaska, were participated.
The main goal is to improve joint military capabilities, focusing on counterterrorism operations in semi-desert environments. This year’s exercise has expanded in terms of personnel and advanced equipment, reflecting growing operational complexity. It strengthens military ties between India and the USA, aligning with India’s strategy of multi-alignment while maintaining autonomy.
