Consider the following statements about 'Exercise Sea Vigil-22' : 1. Its aim is to assess India's preparedness in the domain of Maritime security and coastal defence. 2. Naval forces of USA and Japan also took part in the exercise. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Explanation

Exercise Sea Vigil-22 was the third edition of the pan-India coastal defence exercise conducted in November 2022.

  • Statement 1 is correct: The exercise is designed to activate the coastal security apparatus across India and assess the overarching coastal defence mechanism. It provides an opportunity to evaluate preparedness in the domain of maritime security along the entire 7,516 km coastline and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: Sea Vigil is a national-level domestic exercise involving the Indian Navy, Coast Guard, and over 17 other government agencies (such as Customs, Fisheries, and State Marine Police). It does not involve foreign naval forces like the USA or Japan; such multilateral participation is characteristic of exercises like 'Malabar'.

The exercise was conceptualized in 2018 to validate measures instituted after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and serves as a build-up to the biennial Theatre Level Readiness Operational Exercise (TROPEX).
