Yudh Abhyas: Indian, US Army Troops Stage Spontaneous Rock Concert In Himalayas. WATCH
The Indian Army and US Army officials held a rock concert in the Himalayas during the 18th Yudh Abhyas. In a video, officials from both countries can be seen admiring the Himalayas.
A video of a "spontaneous" rock concert from the recently concluded Indo-US yearly joint exercise 'Yudh Abhyas' has gone viral on social media. The US Army's 11th Airborne Division uploaded a video on Thursday of soldiers in 'rock-on' mode, adding a musical touch to the two-week-long gruelling training that ended on Saturday in Uttarakhand's Auli.

The 20-second video, which features the two forces, is impressive to behold, with rolling percussion and guitar. "In the Himalayas, spontaneous rock concerts with our Commanding General on lead guitar?" "All in a day's work for the Arctic Angels," the US Army's 11th Airborne Division tweeted.
The joint military drill 'Yudh Abhyas' between India and the United States was completed smoothly on Saturday. The exercise strengthened both forces' coordination and interoperability in peacekeeping and disaster relief missions.
The drill was attended by US Army soldiers from the 2nd Brigade of the 11th Airborne Division and Indian Army soldiers from the Assam Regiment.
The training schedule was centred on the usage of an integrated fighting group in accordance with Chapter VII of the UN mandate.
“Our commitment to the Indo-Pacific region improves interoperability, and takes the US-India Defence partnership to new heights,” the US Embassy in India tweeted Saturday, following the exercise's successful conclusion.

The bilateral exercise became a hot topic because China objected to training near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Delhi dismissed China's claim that the drills violated border management agreements inked by China and India in 1993 and 1996. The senior-most American diplomat in India, Elizabeth Jones, replied to China's opposition by asserting it was none of their business.
