The exercise focuses on counter-terrorism in semi-urban settings and includes areas like intelligence sharing, cordon and search, raids, and joint defence, not large-scale conventional warfare.

The 'SAMPRITI' series of joint military exercises between the Indian Army and the Bangladesh Army has been conducted alternately in both countries since 2009.

SAMPRITI-XI will involve company-level troops from both the Indian Army and the Bangladesh Army.

The exercise is designed to enhance the ability of the combined armies to undertake joint operations in a counter-terrorism environment, particularly in semi-urban settings.

The 11th edition of the exercise, SAMPRITI-XI, commenced on April 7, 2026, at the Joint Training Node in Umroi, Meghalaya, India.
