Special forces troops from the U-S and India take part in wargames
Special forces troops from the United States and India have taken part in their first wargames in 39 years in northeastern India .
The wargames marked a milestone in military cooperation between the world's two largest democracies.
In New Delhi, a US Embassy spokesman said it was the largest army exercise ever to take place between the US and India.
The last Indo-US exercises were held a year after India fought a brief but bitter border war with China in 1962.
Indian military commanders in Agra, 200 kilometres south from New Delhi, said the airforce-backed exercise would provide a unique opportunity for both sides to learn new procedures.
