Exercise AMOGH JWALA Showcases Indian Army’s Multi-Domain Combat Readiness
Pune 18th March 2026: The Indian Army’s Southern Command conducted ‘Exercise AMOGH JWALA’ at the Babina Field Firing Ranges from March 6 to 18 to test technology-driven mechanised warfare capabilities in a multi-domain operational environment.
The exercise culminated in a demonstration witnessed by Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Command, who complimented the participating troops for their professionalism, operational excellence and battle readiness.
He emphasized that Tech Absorption, Jointness and the seamless integration of land, air, cyber, space, Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities are fundamental to building an agile, adaptable and combat-ready force capable of dominating the evolving battlespace across the full spectrum of multi-domain operations.
According to officials, the exercise focused on validating new operational concepts, force structures and procedures aligned with the requirements of modern warfare. It showcased the integrated use of mechanised forces along with attack helicopters, fighter aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, counter-drone technologies and network-enabled battlefield platforms under a unified command and control system.
The drills involved high-tempo operations featuring synchronised fire and manoeuvre, real-time drone-based surveillance, target acquisition and precision engagement. The use of advanced surveillance systems, secure communication networks and precision firepower enabled improved battlefield awareness and faster decision-making, officials said.
Key aspects such as integrated air-land operations, battlefield airspace management for unmanned aerial systems and counter-UAS capabilities were also tested. The exercise further validated reorganised force structures incorporating emerging technologies.
Officials said the drills also highlighted the integration of electronic warfare, air defence systems and night-fighting capabilities with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets, reflecting the Army’s focus on building a networked and future-ready force capable of operating across multiple domains.
