Clark, Commanding General @USARPAC, and other senior leaders, focusing on strengthening India-US Defence Cooperation and advancing a shared vision for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific”, the ADGPI said in a post on X.Beyond the boardroom, the Army chief undertook an aerial tour of Oahu Island. This survey provided the Army chief with a first-hand look at the US military’s training ecosystem, observing the sophisticated infrastructure used for jungle and littoral warfare training and multi-domain readiness, gaining insights into how the US integrates land, air, sea, cyber and space capabilities to maintain operational dominance.The Army chief’s visit comes shortly after Air Chief Marshal Singh was hosted by US Air Force Chief of Staff General Ken Wilsbach at the Pentagon on April 10.
