On September 14, 2015, Pakistani military soldiers came to the South Carolina for a 10-day bi-lateral military exercise led by U.S. Army Central (ARCENT). The main focus of Operation Inspired Gambit is support in counterinsurgency operations. In addition to strengthening mil-to-mil relations between U.S. and Pakistan, this exercise also serves as a training opportunity to strengthen tactical proficiency in critical mission areas and support long-term regional stability.
The military delegation from Pakistani was headed by Brig. Gen. Nasir Saleem Akhtar, Pakistan’s 303rd Aviation Group commander. Reflecting on Operation Gambit exercise he said, “The fact that it all transpired in an atmosphere of great trust and friendship really emerges as the heart of this exercise. I sincerely hope that the understanding, confidence, and friendship developed in the course of the exercise shall go a long way in fostering mutual ties between both the countries to have common interests in building peace and stability worldwide in general and in South Asia in particular.” Here are some pictures taken during the exercise.
