Nearly 2500 soldiers from the three armed forces including 1600 representing the Army Commandoes and the Special Forces are conducting an exercise called ‘Comoran Strike’ in the Trincomalee area to enhance the striking capabilities especially in amphibious warfare operations.

It is the second SEAL (Sea, Air and Land) training exercise which will be for six days in the Trincomalee area.

The training will focus on improving decision making, commanding and efficiency in deciding command capabilities at a given situation.

It commenced on Wednesday and will continue August 30 to enhance the efficiency of the armed forces. It is a joint exercise involving the Army, Navy and the Air Force.
“The Army and the Navy will be the two main players in the exercise as troops will do an amphibious landing. Then they will be given a specific task to carry out,” Military Spokesman Brigadier Nihal Hapuarachchi said.

The training exercise is a brain child of the Army Commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya.
