Joint Military Exercise VINBAX-2023

The Indian Contingent

There are 39 people from the Bengal Engineer Group Engineer Regiment and 6 people from the Army Medical Corps in the Indian group.

45 people from each side are working together on this project with the Vietnam People’s Army.

The history of VINBAX

2018 was the first year of the VINBAX practice, which took place in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

Every year, this training event alternates between India and Vietnam. It helps the military forces of both countries understand each other and work together.

What the exercise is supposed to do

The practice is a Command Post practice or Field Training Exercise, and it’s mostly about how to use and deploy an Engineer Company and a Medical Team.

Its goal is to share information about new ways to build roads, culverts, helipads, ammunition shelters, and observation posts in operating areas.

Important Training Tasks

The groups that are taking part will practice together strategies, techniques, and steps for doing jobs related to combat engineering and combat medicine.

The drill will also include technical military operations scenarios that will simulate the deployment of UN contingents around the world.

Exercise for Validation

At the end of the exercise, there will be a Validation Exercise where both groups will show off the skills they learned during the training.

The military forces of India and Vietnam hope that this joint effort will help them understand each other better, work together better, and work together on defense issues.
