A 60 member Indian Armed Forces contingent, drawn mainly from a battalion of the Garhwal Rifles along with personnel from other arms and the Indian Air Force, departed on 28 September 2026 for Oskemen in Kazakhstan to take part in the ninth edition of the India-Kazakhstan Joint Military Exercise KAZIND, running until 11 October. The exercise is aimed at enhancing interoperability for joint counter terrorism operations in a sub-conventional environment under a United Nations mandate, with a focus on semi-urban and mountainous terrain, air mobility, and unmanned aerial systems. KAZIND-2026 will also set up a Joint Command Post and an Intelligence and Surveillance Centre before culminating in a validation exercise against a simulated terrorist threat.
