New Delhi, July 29 (IANS) <b>A multinational exercise in dealing with
disasters, co-hosted by India and the US, got under way here
Thursday to help military and civilian officials develop the
capability of immediate response to a crisis.</b>
Representatives from 26 countries are attending Tempest Express-7,
which will continue till Aug 6 and has been organised by India's
Integrated Defence Staff and the US Pacific Command.
This is the first time such a multinational exercise is being held
in India.
A defence ministry spokesman said India would take on the mantle of
a lead nation in the exercise and react to a "<b>disaster situation in
an environment previously affected by internal problems</b>".
"Military planners will look into areas of interoperability and
decision loops in emerging exercise situations," he said.
The exercise is part of growing interaction between the armed forces
of India and the US in the field of UN peacekeeping operations and
will focus on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
Addressing participants at the start of the exercise Thursday, US
Charge d' Affaires Robert Blake said increasing global
interdependence requires greater cooperation between nations on
trans-national matters and all nations must learn from one another's
experiences in humanitarian and disaster-related issues.
The exercise will help develop a capability to rapidly augment and
build upon a core group of multinational planners capable of
conducting immediate planning in the event of a crisis.
<b>
This group will facilitate detailed planning and force commitment
and execution of UN-mandated peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance
or disaster relief missions.</b>
Nations participating in the exercise include Australia, Brunei,
Canada, East Timor, France, Fiji, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan,
South Korea, Madagascar, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mauritius,
Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Tuvalu, Britain and Vietnam.
Representatives from India's Centre for UN Peacekeeping, NGOs,
humanitarian assistance experts and other UN organisations have also
been invited.
