The joint drills featured intensive exercises in subterranean warfare, including combat operations in caves and tunnels—an increasingly critical aspect of modern special operations. Forces also engaged in urban warfare simulations, close-quarters battle training, and tactical medical response drills involving battlefield evacuation and first aid under fire.

Additionally, both nations’ elite units conducted special reconnaissance missions, honing their capabilities in intelligence gathering, stealth infiltration, and coordinated target acquisition.
