Objective

The exercise aims to increase mutual cooperation and coordination between the two armies and share expertise in the operation of chaos prevention operations in dense forests.

2015 Visit

During the visit of Prime Minister to Malaysia in November 2015, both sides agreed to strengthen defence cooperation including enhancing defence exchanges through regular dialogue at various levels as also through Service-to-Service Staff Talks.

Both sides have also agreed to upgrade the bilateral joint exercise ‘HARIMAU SHAKTI’ to company level and to set up SU-30 Forum for cooperation in training, maintenance, technical support and safety-related issues, etc. Setting up of the Forum was also discussed during the Air Staff Talks in April, 2016.

The Ambassadors

The Indian Army is represented by the 4 grenadiers. This battalion has rich experience of traditional and chaos prevention action.

The Malaysian army is represented by the Royal Rangers Regiment and the soldiers of the Royal Malay Regiment. Both of these regiments are known for expertise in the jungle war.

Phases of Harimau Shakti

First phase of the two week long joint military exercise began with the formal handing over of the Regimental Flag to the Malaysian Army signifying merging of the two contingents under one Commander.

First day also saw briefings to the joint contingent on Malaysian country brief, exercise settings and security aspects. The day ended with a keenly contested friendly Volley Ball match, which the visitors could finally snatch after a tiff competition.

The first training phase will be organized in the jungles of Hulu Langat and after 7 days field training phase will be organized wherein both armies will jointly train, plan and execute a series of training activities.
