From the above news article:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Gen Casey will be briefed on high-altitude land warfare techniques during his visit to Siachen base camp.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Since Siachen is India's highest battlefield, I'm sure we have developed some techniques/procedures to operate safely up there.
On a more conspiratorial note, there were articles few weeks back from zardari about some good news in Kashmir front. Maybe there are negotiations ongoing to verify ground positions and demarcate a border.
The Americans might be pressuring us to deliver something tangible on Kashmir -- in the interest of South Asian stability. We are already delivering aid to Bajaur so why not go a step further?
