Immaculately dressed in white and olive green uniforms, with martial tunes played by the combined Naval and JAT Regimental bands, a joint Guard of Honour was presented to Lt Gen BS Nagal to begin the ceremony.
Speaking on the occasion, Rear Admiral SPS Cheema, the commissioning Commanding Officer of INS Trishul, stated that the emerging nature of warfare, including low intensity conflicts, demands synergy in combat through jointness and integration of minds.
This unique and enduring partnership would foster spirit de corps, camaraderie, understanding service ethos and catalyzing combat potential between all ranks.
