Andaman and Nicobar Command Concludes High-Octane Joint Services Workup Camp
PORT BLAIR, March 23, 2026 — In a powerful display of tri-service synergy, the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) has successfully concluded its comprehensive Joint Services Workup Camp.
The intensive training program brought together specialized troops from various military formations across India to validate and refine their operational readiness.
Through sustained day and night maneuvers, the exercise underscored the Indian Armed Forces’ capability to execute complex missions in a multi-dimensional environment.
The training schedule featured a wide array of high-stakes drills, including combat firing, combat diving, and Combat Free Fall (CFF) operations.
A significant highlight of the camp was the execution of Special Heliborne Operations (SHBO) and large-scale beach assaults, supported by integrated air assets.
These exercises were designed to test the seamless coordination between land, sea, and air domains, ensuring that the joint forces can respond rapidly to any maritime or coastal security threat.
Beyond traditional warfare tactics, the contingent also practiced sophisticated anti-hijacking exercises, demonstrating a robust posture against non-traditional security challenges.
By mastering these diverse disciplines, the participating troops have further strengthened the “jointmanship” that is central to the ANC’s mission.
The successful completion of the workup camp reaffirms the command’s status as a critical hub for integrated military excellence and a cornerstone of India’s strategic defense in the Indo-Pacific region.
