The Indian Army recently conducted two important military exercises in the inaccessible valleys and Himalayan heights of Northeast India. The ‘Dibang Shakti’ practice in Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh and the trial core on the inaccessible routes of Sikkim march with war load up to 17,000 feet height. Both these exercises were not only the examination of physical ability, but were strategically deep messages.
Talking about ‘Dibang Shakti’ practice, let us tell you that this high -intensity practice performed in the dense forests of Dibang Valley and this high -intensity exercise reflects the preparation of the Indian Army’s war. Here the soldiers displayed complex activities such as jungle warfare, survival techniques, and Combat Free Fall. It proved that the army is not only limited to traditional fighting, but also able to deal with changing security scenarios – infiltration, terrorism, and special campaigns. This is a sign of India’s sustainable readiness on the eastern frontier, especially when military activities and geopolitical tension in neighboring areas are continuously increasing.

Talking about the trisker practice, let us tell you that the height of six days and night of the Trishakti core brings out the human power-based war skills of the soldiers. Every soldier’s passing through the inaccessible Himalayan routes with full war weight makes a recommendation that although the army is increasing the use of modern technology (drone, smart logistics, digital communication), the final decision of war is the endurance, patience and teamwork of man. This exercise also tested the soldiers that in the event of failure or unavailable technology, they can take care of the front by remaining self -sufficient.
If we look at the strategic importance of these two exercises, they give a glimpse of a holistic security approach. Through this, preparations of soldiers were assessed in both forest and high mountainous circumstances. At the same time, while ‘Dibang Shakti’ emphasized the state -of -the -art technology and coordinated warfare, the Trishakti March gave priority to human stamina and self -reliance. In addition, practice in sensitive areas (Arunachal and Sikkim) on the China-India border gives a clear message that the Indian Army is ready for every situation. Also, this practice for both citizens and rivals is a demonstration of trust and power. In addition, the real importance of these exercises is hidden in diplomatic and strategic messages that they give to neighboring countries, especially China and Bangladesh.
China’s claim on Arunachal Pradesh and its continuous provocative activities are a major cause of India’s security concern. In such a situation, the practice of war and forest warfare under the inaccessible circumstances of Dibang Valley is a strong demonstration that the Indian Army can counter any unexpected threat. The confidence of the soldiers in the difficult weather and inaccessible geography is a direct reply to China’s psychological pressure, which tries to destabilize India.
At the same time, the march in Sikkim with a full battle load of the trishakti core at an altitude of 17,000 feet shows that the Indian Army is not only dependent on technology. Drone and smart logistics are important, but even when the technology fails, the tolerance, patience and collectivity of the soldiers prove decisive. This exercise gives a direct message to China that India is ready for every situation even at the difficult heights of the Himalayas.
On the other hand, in Bangladesh’s internal politics, anti-India voices emerge from time to time and China tries to make its inroads there. In such a situation, the strength of the Indian Army on the borders of the Northeast makes it clear that India is conscious of any indirect pressure or cross-border activity.
However, the height of ‘Dibang Shakti’ and the trisker-March is the strategic pillar of India’s Northeast Policy. These exercises give a clear indication to both the expansionist policies of China and the unstable political tendencies of Bangladesh that India will never be lax in protecting its borders. Equipped with the balance of technology and manpower, this preparation is not only a guarantee of peace on the border, but also a mirror of India’s sovereignty and strategic confidence. These exercises show that the Indian Army is not only proficient in modern warfare techniques, but can also face any challenge on the strength of human courage and tolerance. This balance is the largest shield of India’s borders.
