Cambrian Patrol tests participating military teams on their tactical proficiency, leadership, navigation, decision-making and ability to operate effectively under pressure.
Congratulating the team for bringing laurels to the nation, General Seth described their success as a testament to the Indian Army’s enduring Yoddha Spirit — a combination of courage, discipline, professional excellence and an unrelenting resolve to accomplish the mission.
The COAS also urged the soldiers to maintain the highest standards of soldiering and continue inspiring their fellow personnel across the Army.
The Assam Regiment team’s performance on the international stage underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to excellence in military training and its ability to compete successfully against leading armed forces from across the world.
The achievement reinforces the spirit of ‘Jai Se Vijay’ — honouring excellence, celebrating the warrior spirit and carrying the nation’s pride onto the global stage.
