Maritime forces from
India, Japan and the US would participate in a joint Maritime Security Exercise "Malabar" 2017, a joint mid-summer
exercise aimed at addressing shared threats to maritime security in the
Indo-Asia Pacific region.
The Exercise will
involve Naval ships, Aircraft and Personnel from the three countries in both

search and seizure (VBSS) operation.
The Exercise would also
include medical operation, maritime patrol and reconnaissance operations,
damage control exercise and subjects matter expert and professional exchanges.
"Malabar 2017" is the
latest in a continuing series of exercises that has grown in scope and
complexity over the years, to build upon and advance working relationship in
collectively providing security stability in the Indo-Asia Pacific region, and
help to increase the level of understanding between the sailors and interoperatability
between the three Navies.
