ମେନ୍ସ
GS3 Internal security and GS2 IR. Bilateral exercises with Oman, Myanmar and the USA build interoperability and maritime partnerships, while Sea Vigil tests coastal security coordination among agencies. The inclusion of the NDRF in Tiger Triumph shows the growing focus on disaster response; the way forward is deeper inter-agency integration and sustained regional maritime cooperation.
Quick recall
Answer before you reveal
Consider the following naval exercises and their partners:
- Naseem Al Bahr — Oman
- IMNEX — Myanmar
- Tiger Triumph — Japan
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
- Only one
- Only two
- All three
- None
ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଖନ୍ତୁ
ଉତ୍ତର: B — Correct: Only two — Naseem Al Bahr (Oman) and IMNEX (Myanmar) are correct; Tiger Triumph is an India–USA exercise, so pair 3 is wrong. • Only one — wrong: two pairs are correct, not one — Naseem Al Bahr is with Oman and IMNEX with Myanmar. • All three — wrong: Tiger Triumph is held with the United States, not Japan, so not all three match. • None — wrong: pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the count is not zero.
