Dharali: In a remarkable demonstration of versatility and resilience, the Animal Transport (AT) units of the Indian Army’s Army Service Corps have been instrumental in delivering essential relief to the flood-affected village of Dharali in Uttarakhand. Operating in challenging terrains where mechanized vehicles cannot access, these animals have ensured the continuous supply of critical aid to the affected populace.

Unyielding Support in Challenging Terrains

The AT units, comprising mules, ponies, and horses, have been actively engaged in transporting vital supplies, including food, water, medical kits, and other essentials, to areas rendered inaccessible due to landslides and floodwaters. Their ability to navigate through narrow, debris-laden paths has been pivotal in sustaining the relief operations.

A Legacy of Service and Adaptability

The Indian Army’s Animal Transport units have a storied history of service, dating back to the early 20th century. While mechanization has introduced advanced capabilities, the adaptability and reliability of these animals continue to be indispensable in specific operational contexts. Their role in Operation Dharali underscores their enduring relevance in modern military logistics.

Strategic Importance in Humanitarian Missions

In regions like Dharali, where infrastructure is fragile and natural calamities frequent, the AT units provide a strategic advantage. Their deployment ensures that humanitarian assistance reaches even the most remote and cut-off communities, reinforcing the Indian Army’s commitment to disaster response and relief.

Unwavering Efforts from the Indian Army

The unwavering dedication of the Animal Transport units of the Army Service Corps exemplifies the multifaceted approach of the Indian Army in disaster management. Their contribution to Operation Dharali highlights the seamless integration of traditional methods with modern strategies in ensuring effective humanitarian assistance.
