In these, the soldiers of Madras Regiment will lead. All types of military units (such as infantry, tanks and assistant forces) will be included. The US army will also show its new weapons and technology.
The special thing is that America will offer its ‘striker’ car to the water. India tested the first striker land version. Now an inquiry into the capacity running in the water was sought. If it was successful, India can consider buying it.
