Biren Oberoi, Cope India 2023 U.S. Exercise Director. \u201cCope India provides a unique opportunity to promote compatibility among our forces and build on our collective strengths to increase our capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following participation in the highly successful Aero India 2023, PACAF is continuing to grow the partnership between U.S. and Indian defense services through information sharing, liaison officers, and increasingly complex exercises such as CI23. This year\u2019s event is projected to be one of the largest Cope India exercises ever, with specific training to increase cooperation alongside IAF airmen during the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cope India showcases the U.S. and India\u2019s commitment to the stability and security of the Indo-Pacific region. Cope India began in 2004 as a fighter training exercise held at Air Station Gwalior, India and returned for the first time since 2018. The exercise has evolved to incorporate subject matter expert exchanges, air mobility training, air drop training and large-force exercises, in addition to fighter-training exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: By <a href=\"https:\/\/in.usembassy.gov\/pacific-air-forces-follow-aero-india-23-with-air-force-training-exercise-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">U.S. Mission India (U.S. Embassy &amp; Consulates in India)<\/a> \/ US JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii \u2014 Pacific Air Forces Public Affairs- April 13, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sub><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.com\/?cat=1683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bharatiya Vayu Sena <\/a><\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/news.asp?newst=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Asian <\/a>\u00a9<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">XAirForces <\/a>News Editor from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/news_country.asp?id=155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">India<\/a><\/strong>) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.com\/?p=2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"IAF\u2019s Sukhoi Su-30 MKIs to take on French Air Force\u2019s Rafale jets during Garuda VI air exercise\">Facebook.com\/bharatiya.vayu.sena<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/Twitter.com\/BharatiyaVayuSe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Twitter.com\/BharatiyaVayuSe<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:bharatiya.vayu.sena@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">bharatiya.vayu.sena@gmail.com<\/a><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xairforces.net\/newsd.asp?newsid=3194&amp;newst=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Pacific Air Forces follow Aero India 23 with Air Force training exercise in India<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airmen from the U.S. are participating in the exercise Cope India 2023\u2013or CI23\u2013 with the Indian Air Force, April 10-21, 2023.
