The exercise aims to strengthen operational synergy in joint counterterrorism operations in semi-urban environment under Chapter VII of the UN mandate.

According to an earlier release from the Ministry of Defence, the 7th edition of the joint military exercise “Ajeya Warrior-23” was conducted at Salisbury Plains in the United Kingdom in 2023. The exercises focus on building positive military relations, sharing best practices, and enhancing the ability to operate together during company-level sub-conventional operations in urban and semi-urban environments under a UN mandate. They also help strengthen interoperability, camaraderie, and mutual understanding between the two armies.
