Answer- A
The National Security Guard (NSG) of India and the US Special Operations Forces (SOF) recently concluded a joint counter-terrorism exercise called Tarkash in Chennai, following four weeks of rigorous training and joint anti-terror exercises.
The exercise was highlighted by mock drills for the response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) counter-terrorism by the special forces of both countries.
The exercise's training program included urban counter-terrorism drills, combat shooting, and long-range marksmanship practice, aimed at enhancing mutual warfare capabilities. Given India's location between two nuclear-armed neighbors, China and Pakistan, Exercise Tarkash assumes significant importance in the current geopolitical scenario.
