CTW Pune Officer Cadets Visit Shivneri Brigade for Infantry Training Exposure

Officer Cadets from the Cadets Training Wing (CTW), Pune, visited the Indian Army’s Shivneri Brigade as part of their professional military training, gaining first-hand exposure to infantry operations, leadership responsibilities and the functioning of an operational military formation.

During the visit, the cadets were introduced to the history, daily routine, organisational structure and operational responsibilities of an Infantry Battalion. The interaction gave them a closer look at how infantry units function in practice, along with the demands placed on soldiers and officers in the course of their duties.

The cadets also visited the Foreign Training Node, where they received briefings on the planning and conduct of joint and foreign military exercises. These sessions underlined the role of military cooperation, interoperability and coordination in multinational training engagements.

The visit also offered the future officers an opportunity to better understand the responsibilities of junior military leaders, especially in maintaining operational readiness, leading troops and ensuring the effective execution of assigned missions.

Such training visits are an important part of professional military education, helping bridge the gap between classroom instruction and practical military experience. The exposure is intended to develop leadership qualities, operational awareness and a deeper understanding of the Indian Army’s infantry formations among future officers.
