Four countries have been invited to come with eight man teams to participate in the ‘Comoran Strike’ exercise of the three armed forces to be held in September this year.
All together 68 foreign servicemen attached to the elite special forces will jointly conduct training missions with the special forces units attached to Sri Lanka Armed Forces.
Nearly 2,500 soldiers from the three armed forces including1,600 representing the army Commandoes and the Special Forces participates in the annual exercise which started in 2010.
The previous exercises were held in Silawarthura area in Trincomalee to enhance the striking capabilities especially in amphibious warfare operations.
This year the third SEAL (SEa, Air and Land) training exercise will be held in September but a place to conduct the exercise is yet to be disclosed.
The training focuses on improving decision making, commanding and efficiency in deciding command capabilities at a given situation to enhance the efficiency of the armed forces.
The training exercise is a brain child of the Army Commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya. (Supun Dias)

excellent. good to see MoD repositions itself to meet the needs of the country after the defeat of the LTTE. good to focus on power projections.
Sri lanka needs to enhance its naval operational capabilities. need to introduce more heavy weapons. and induct newer submarines to keep tap of the ocean.
Sri lanka should focus on developing atleast 12-15 new submarines before the end of the decade.
