Question

Which of the following best describes Exercise MILAN 2026, conducted under the theme 'Camaraderie, Cooperation, Collaboration’?

The correct answer is

A multilateral maritime exercise hosted by the Indian Navy.

MILAN is a biennial multilateral naval exercise that the Indian Navy began in 1995 at Port Blair. It brings together navies from friendly countries for harbour interactions and joint manoeuvres at sea.

Step 1 — MILAN 2026 was hosted by the Indian Navy at Visakhapatnam from 15 to 25 February 2026, alongside the International Fleet Review, under the theme 'Camaraderie, Cooperation, Collaboration'.

Step 2 — Dozens of ships, submarines and aircraft from many partner navies took part, with the sea phase concluding on board INS Vikrant. A many-nation event hosted by India is, by definition, a multilateral maritime exercise.

Step 3 — It is not a Quad-led exercise (the Quad has four members, while MILAN draws in many more navies), not a Coast Guard search and rescue drill, and not a bilateral India–Japan exercise; India and Japan hold JIMEX for that purpose.

A multilateral maritime exercise hosted by the Indian Navy. option is correct.
