RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)

India and Australia

India and Japan

Japan and Australia

India and France

The correct answer is

India and Japan

Exercise Dharma Guardian is an annual bilateral military exercise between the Indian Army and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF).

The exercise was instituted in 2018 and is held alternately in India and Japan. It focuses on joint counter-terrorism operations, jungle warfare and coordinated urban operations under a UN Chapter VII mandate.

The 7th edition was conducted in 2026, continuing the series and further deepening the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership in the defence domain.

Australia and France have separate bilateral drills with India (AUSTRAHIND and Shakti/Varuna respectively), not Dharma Guardian.

Hence, the answer is India and Japan.
