Indian Armed Forces Launch Major Tri-Service Exercise ‘Trishul’ to Bolster Integrated Defense Capabilities
New Delhi, November 9, 2025 – The Indian Armed Forces have commenced Exercise Trishul, a large-scale tri-service exercise designed to enhance integrated readiness across multiple operational domains. The Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday that the exercise, led by the Army’s Southern Command, encompasses electronic warfare, cyber operations, drone and counter-drone tactics, intelligence gathering, air defense, and coordinated joint fires.
Exercise Trishul reflects the Indian Armed Forces’ commitment to ‘Jointness, Atmanirbharta (self-reliance), and Innovation’ and tests the seamless integration of land, sea, and air forces.
In the Thar Desert, Southern Command formations are executing integrated maneuvers through Exercises ‘MaruJwala’ and ‘Akhand Prahaar,’ validating combined arms operations and joint fire integration. A large scale combat exercise will culminate the training with precision targeting and multi-domain coordination.
In the Kutch sector, a joint exercise involving the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Border Security Force is underway, rehearsing integrated operational capabilities in cooperation with civil administration.
The final phase of Exercise Trishul will feature an amphibious exercise off the Saurashtra Coast, where Southern Command’s amphibious forces will conduct beach landing operations.
The Defence Ministry emphasizes that Exercise Trishul also serves as a testbed for the Indian Army’s ‘Decade of Transformation’ initiative, demonstrating its commitment to remaining a future-ready force capable of addressing emerging challenges.
