The Indian Army’s Trishakti Corps has initiated rigorous Army Martial Arts Routine (AMAR) training at altitudes exceeding 14,000 feet, aimed at enhancing close-combat readiness in challenging operational environments along the Northern Borders. This training, conducted in extreme conditions, focuses on developing soldiers’ reflexes, stamina, and situational awareness, preparing them for close-quarters combat without relying solely on conventional weapons. Additionally, the Army has achieved a significant milestone in self-reliance by indigenizing 55 out of 57 Special Clothing and Mountaineering Equipment items for high-altitude operations, thereby reducing import dependence. These advancements underscore the Indian Army’s commitment to operational capability and the broader goal of achieving Atmanirbharta by 2047.
