NEW DELHI: US Special Operation Force (USOF) on Friday concluded a two-week joint training session in Manesar, Hayana, for the personnel of National Security Guard (NSG) and Indian Army in detection and neutralisation of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNe) threats.
The training, offered as part of subject matter expertise exchange (SMEE) between NSG and US Special Forces to review and improve operational readiness in dealing with CBRNe substances, is well-timed as it adds to the NSG’s capabilities to handle any CBRNe threats during the upcoming G20 meet.
NSG will be part of the multi-layered security planned for the high-profile event that will see heads of G20 member nations descending upon the national capital.
The joint training exercise by US SOF and NSG, a sequel to their annual joint counter-terrorism exercise TARKASH, began on June 19. Highly-experienced personnel from multiple disciplines like explosive ordnance disposal, chemical warfare, nuclear emergency support & bio hazard mitigation apprised NSG and Indian defence personnel at the NSG varison in Manesar on operational tactics for modern warfare in urban settings.
A senior NSG officer told TOI that the knowledge and experience shared during training sessions will contribute significantly to the enhancement of operational readiness and outlook of the participants. The SMEE is expected to enhance collective response capability to deal with CBRNe threats and ultimately strengthen regional and global security.
“NSG looks forward to further collaboration with international partners and continuing the tradition of hosting such valuable exchanges to address emerging challenges in the ever-changing security landscape. The joint exercise signifies the dedication of the participating forces in tackling terrorism in all forms, safeguarding national security and maintaining public safety,” a senior NSG officer told TOI. As part of TARKASH, NSG and US Special Forces annually share best practices and tactics relating to a wide spectrum of anti-terror operations in an urban environment.
