DONNELLY TRAINING AREA, Alaska — Indian Maj. Gen. Jasbir Singh, Indian Army Tiger Division commander, visited soldiers from 4th Rajput, Indian Army, who are participating in Exercise Yudh Abhyas 07-01 with Soldiers from B Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment.

Singh met with Indian and American commanders participating in the simulated, but realistic training environment of a country overwhelmed by terrorists.

“It is a matter of great pride and an excellent opportunity to train with the American Soldiers,” Singh said. “Both armies have a very rich experience in combating terrorism.”

According to Singh, the time has come when the scope of territory affected by terrorism has grown, and more nations worldwide will need to fight against terrorism.

He believes exchanging experience gained in Yudh Abhyas improves individual and joint working abilities.

“I was very much impressed with the very realistic setting conducted,” Singh said. “I am professionally satisfied with what I’ve seen.”

Singh said 3-21st was selected to train with the Indian Army for their experience and exceptional skill in combating terrorism and looks forward to more joint training in the future.

“We must enlarge the scope and enlarge the number of troops participating in joint exercises,” Singh said. “This exercise has been very beneficial for my officers. They have learned a lot and we are richer in experience.”

The second part of the exercise, Yudh Abhas 07-02, will begin in October when C Co., 3-21st travels to India.
