Akhand Prahaar – The Power of Integrated Combat
Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, AVSM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief SouthernCommand, reviewed the operational preparedness of KonarkCorps during ExerciseAkhandPrahar, conducted in the Desert Sector as part of the TriServices Exercise Trishul.
The exercise validated full-spectrum combat readiness of KonarkCorps through integrated employment of all arms and services — from mechanised and infantry manoeuvres to the execution of land operations by the Rudra Brigade, Special Heliborne Operations, and coordinated Attack Helicopter missions by ArmyAviation.
Seamless synergy with the IndianAirForce was demonstrated through Fighter Ground Attack missions in close support of land forces. Employment of indigenous drones, counter-drone systems and EW grids further enhanced battlefield transparency, precision and control, underscoring India’s growing technological edge and Atmanirbharta.
The exercise reaffirmed the Corps’ transformation into a modern, agile and networked force — future-ready for multi-domain, high-tempo operations.
The Army Commander commended all participating formations and units for their professionalism, innovation and joint operational excellence — epitomising SouthernCommand’s ethos of Jointness, Technology Absorption and Operational Excellence.
