Summary

A 60-member Indian Armed Forces contingent departed for Oskemen, Kazakhstan, on September 28, 2026, to participate in the ninth edition of the India-Kazakhstan Joint Military Exercise KAZIND-2026, scheduled through October 11, 2026. The exercise aims to enhance interoperability and strengthen joint counter-terrorism capabilities under a UN mandate. The Indian contingent includes personnel from the Garhwal Rifles, other arms and services, and the Indian Air Force, matched by a Kazakhstan contingent primarily from its Land Forces. Training will focus on semi-urban and mountainous terrain and include joint planning, air mobility, unmanned aerial systems, counter-UAS capabilities, cordon-and-search operations, raids, search-and-destroy missions, heliborne operations, and establishment of joint command and intelligence centers. The exercise will culminate in a validation exercise against a simulated terrorist threat.
