Exercise Inspired Gambit-2026: The army of Pakistan and the United States conduct counter-terrorism exercises.

Exercise Inspired Gambit-2026, a collaborative military initiative between the Pakistan Army and the United States Army that commenced last Thursday, will conclude tomorrow.

The two-week counter-terrorism exercise represents the 13th iteration of this bilateral training series, which has been held since 1995.

A Distinguished Visitors’ Day ceremony occurred today at the National Counter Terrorism Centre in Pabbi. Natalie Baker, Chargé d’Affaires of the United States to Pakistan, attended the event with senior US military officials and the Commander of the Rawalpindi Corps.

During the event, the visiting dignitaries were informed about the scope, objectives, and execution of the exercise. Both armies exhibited exceptional operational professionalism and expertise, which was greatly acknowledged by the attendees.

The exercise facilitates the exchange of counter-terrorism tactics and operational experiences between the two armed forces. Participants undertook realistic exercises designed to enhance CT protocols while upholding rigorous safety and coordination criteria.

Inspired Gambit–2026 aims to improve bilateral military collaboration by improving interoperability, honing tactical exercises, and cultivating mutual comprehension. The training further solidifies the dedication of both nations to counter-terrorism preparedness and operational readiness.
