An Indian Army contingent, comprising 137 personnel, has embarked on "Exercise BRIGHT STAR- 23," a multinational joint military exercise taking place at Egypt's Mohammed Naguib Military Base from August 31 to September 14, 2023. Led by US CENTCOM and the Egyptian Army, this exercise was originally conceived during the Camp David Accord of 1977 and has evolved to include 34 countries this year. It marks the first-ever participation of the Indian Armed Forces with 549 personnel, representing the Indian Army's 23 JAT Battalion. Notably, it's the largest-ever joint military drill in the Middle East & North Africa, highlighting India's pivotal role in fostering global peace through collaborative defense efforts.
