The Indian Armed Forces successfully conducted the Tri-Services Exercise (TSE-2025) ‘Trishul’ in early November 2025, with the Indian Navy leading the drill in coordination with the Indian Army and Indian Air Force. Designed to enhance joint operational capabilities, the exercise brought together multiple commands and agencies for large-scale, multi-domain operations.
The Western Naval Command, Southern Command of the Army, and South Western Air Command of the IAF spearheaded the operations, which were held across the creek and desert regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat and extended into the North Arabian Sea, including amphibious deployments. The Indian Coast Guard, Border Security Force, and various central agencies also participated, reinforcing inter-agency coordination.
The major focus of the exercise was to enhance synergy between the armed forces and validate and synchronise multi-domain integrated operational procedures across the three Services, enabling joint effect-based operations. Key objectives included enhancing interoperability of platforms and infrastructure, strengthening network integration across the Services, and advancing jointness in operations. The exercise also validated joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) procedures, Electronic Warfare (EW) and Cyber Warfare plans.
The exercise included Indian Navy carrier operations conducted jointly with shore-based assets of the Indian Air Force to facilitate exchange of Best Practices and validation of joint SOPs for air operations.
Exercise Trishul highlighted the effective employment of indigenous systems and absorption of the tenets of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Additionally, it focused on the refinement of procedures and techniques tailored to address emerging threats and the evolving character of contemporary and future warfare.
Successful conduct of Tri-Services Exercise 2025 has underscored the collective resolve of the Indian Armed Forces to operate in a fully integrated manner, thereby enhancing joint operational readiness and national security preparedness.
