Training

Corps is a Mechanised Formation of the Indian Army. The interface between the man and machine and the coordination between the crew of the tanks are an important facet of training. The photograph shows a tank firing during an exercise in Pokharan Ranges in 2018 & a tank practicing Crew Coordination during move.

One method of defending an area against Armoured attacks is by flooding irrigation canals to create marshy areas so that tanks are bogged down. The picture above shows Tanks practicing negotiation of a marshy area.

Tanks training with attack helicopters in Mahajan firing Ranges.

Large scale Mechanised Warfare is a very complex operation and requires frequent and dedicated training. The picture above shows Tanks and Infantry Combat Vehicles (ICVs) involved in a obstacle crossing operation.

One of the most important aspects that enables an advancing army to move unhaltingly in enemy territory is the ability of the Army Engineers to build roads and lay bridges. The picture above depicts the Army Engineers laying a bridge across a Water Obstacle.

TRAINING OF FRIENDLY FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The Indian Army undertakes the training of soldiers from friendly foreign countries. These soldiers and officers come from all over the world and are trained in various Centres across the Country.
