| India, US in talks for Malabar joint services war game |
| 2009-12-04 |
| New Delhi, Dec 4 (PTI) India and US are in talks to convert its bilateral Malabar series of naval exercises into a joint services war game involving their navies, air forces and marine commandos. US Pacific Command chief Admiral Robert F Willard, who is on a two-day visit to India, said both nations' militaries had "joint capabilities" but that needed to be practised and hence the idea to involve both countries' air forces and marine commandos in the exercise. "On both sides, there has been a desire to increase the complexity of the (Malabar) exercise and conduct it in a more joint fashion, by which I mean combining services of the respective nations together... the IAF and Indian Navy conducting a joint exercise in conjunction and in our case, US Navy and Air Force or US Marine Corps," Willard said. |
