In alignment with the established partnership between India and the US, a bilateral tri-Service Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) Exercise known as Tiger Triumph – 24 is set to take place on the Eastern Seaboard from March 18 to March 31, 2024. Indian Navy Ships equipped with integral helicopters and landing crafts, Indian Navy aircraft, Indian Army personnel and vehicles, and Indian Air Force aircraft and helicopters, along with the Rapid Action Medical Team (RAMT), will be participating in the exercise. Representing the US will be US Navy Ships with deployed troops from the US Marine Corps and US Army. The primary objective of the exercise is to enhance interoperability for conducting HADR operations and to refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to facilitate swift and efficient coordination between the forces of both countries.
The Harbour Phase is scheduled to take place from March 18 to March 25, 2024. During this phase, personnel from both navies will engage in Training Visits, Subject Matter Expert Exchanges, Sports Events, and Social interactions. Following the conclusion of the Harbour Phase, the ships, with embarked troops, will proceed to the Sea Phase, where they will engage in Maritime, Amphibious, and HADR operations in line with predetermined scenarios.
