WADING ASHORE IN INDIA: The caption stresses that this exercise –Exercise Tiger TRIUMPH–is a training exercise in humanitarian assistance disaster relief operations. Yes, that’s right. U.S. Marines and Indian Army soldiers disembarking and wading ashore at Kakinada Beach, India– “a joint and combined Indian and U.S. force.” Well, this joint and combined India-U.S. force is well armed, because you never know what to expect when conducting humanitarian assistance. I’m certain that’s how the boys in Beijing will interpret this photo. Photo taken November 19, 2019.
