In an effort to develop international cooperation and joint training for UN peacekeeping missions, Indian Army participated in a Joint Training Exercise with its Mongolian counterpart from 10 - 24 June 2013.
The Indian Army was represented by 28 personnel who participated in several joint counter insurgency and counter terrorism operations in Mongolia. Codenamed ‘NOMADIC ELEPHANT – 2013’, the exercise focused specially on the needs of peacekeeping missions under the UN flag and helped in increasing the coordination and understanding between troops of the two nations.
Defence cooperation and relations between India and Mongolia have seen a steady growth over the last decade with the first joint exercise in 2004. For the last few years, the joint drills are being held every year. In 2012, the joint training was held at Belgaum, in Karnataka.
