The exhibition is organised by Konark Corps on Indian Army's combat capability to commemorate and celebrate two years of the historic surgical strike across the LoC.

Surgical strikes: The need for more as 300 terrorists have resurfaced across the border
It is for the third time that the Commanders' Conference is being held outside Delhi. After 2015 in Delhi, it was held in 2016 on the Indian Navy warship INS Vikramaditya and at the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun in 2017.
This time, a forward air base on western border has been chosen for the conference owing to the strategic importance and location of the Jodhpur Air Force station, which was the headquarter of the South West Air Command earlier.
