India and the U.S. kicked off a military exercise in Alaska on Sunday, with over 300 soldiers from each side participating in the training.
As part of the ice-breaking session, the contingents participated in kabaddi and volleyball matches, and a light-hearted snowball fight at the Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson in Alaska's Anchorage.
Called the 'Yudh Abhyas', it is the longest-running joint military training and defence cooperation endeavour between the two armies. The Indian contingent at the 15-days-long exercise comprises 350 personnel of an infantry battalion group of the Indian Army.
