Organised under the overarching framework of Military-Civil Fusion, this joint initiative aims to synergise operational expertise, upgrade tactical preparedness and fortify critical aviation infrastructure against evolving security challenges.
Over the course of 14 days, experienced instructors from Indian Army will train CISF personnel in advanced security protocols, focusing on key operational areas including Industrial and Critical Infrastructure Security, Vital Area & Vital Point Security, Quick Reaction Team Drills and Counter Drone Operations & Threat Mitigation.
