Exercise Tiger Triumph is a bilateral tri-service exercise between India and which country?

  1. A.Japan
  2. B.France
  3. C.The United States
  4. D.Australia

Correct answer

C. The United States

Explanation

The correct answer is the United States. Tiger Triumph is the India-United States bilateral tri-service exercise devoted to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief, and the opening ceremony of its 5th edition was held at the Maritime Warfare Centre in Visakhapatnam. The American contingent is drawn from the US Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy, together with specialists in space, cyber, medical work and explosive ordnance disposal, and the ceremony was co-presided by the Vice Commander of the US Pacific Fleet. Option A is wrong because India holds other exercises with Japan, not this one. Option B is wrong because France is not a participant here. Option D is wrong because Australia is not part of Tiger Triumph. The Ministry of Defence presented the exercise as a sign of converging Indian and American strategic maritime interests.

  1. A.Indian Coast Guard
  2. B.Border Security Force
  3. C.National Disaster Response Force
  4. D.Central Industrial Security Force

An NDRF team is joining Tiger Triumph for the first time in this 5th edition, which is significant because it brings the country's dedicated civil disaster-response agency into a military exercise built around Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief.

Q3.DefenceMedium

In which format is Exercise Tiger Triumph being conducted in 2026?

  1. A.A full field and amphibious deployment

  4. D.A computer-only cyber defence drill
Show answer
Correct answer: B. A Tabletop Exercise (TTX)

The Ministry of Defence said this year's edition is being conducted in that form, which means officers of both countries talk through a disaster scenario around a planning table rather than moving ships, aircraft and troops into the field.
