Malabar Exercise

The Malabar Exercise is a series of maritime drills involving the navies of India, the United States, and Japan. Initiated in 1992, it aims to enhance naval cooperation and interoperability among these nations, focusing on anti-terrorism, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief operations. The exercise takes place in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, where participating forces practice various naval tactics and share strategies to ensure regional security. Over time, the Malabar Exercise has expanded to include other countries and has become a key element in promoting a stable maritime environment in the Indo-Pacific region.
