India-Thailand MAITREE military exercises

Overview

The Indian Army and the Royal Thai Army are conducting the 15th edition of the MAITREE joint military exercise in Thailand. Held at the Vibhavadi Rangsit Camp in Surat Thani from August 18 to August 31, the drills involve 85 personnel from each nation, including troops from India’s 9 Gorkha Rifles and Thailand’s 3rd Battalion, 25th Infantry Brigade.

The exercise focuses on company-level operations within jungle and semi-urban terrains. Training objectives include enhancing interoperability and developing capabilities for counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations, potentially supporting future United Nations peacekeeping missions.

Recent developments in the drills include the integration of modern warfare components, such as UAV-supported operations, information technology usage, counter-IED training, and martial arts exchanges.
