    U.S. Army Capt. (Chaplain) David Dyrenforth, 1st Squadron, 40th Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, “Spartan Brigade,” is given a shawl as a guest of honor during an Indian Army-led interfaith ceremony as part of exercise Yudh Abhyas 21, October 17, 2021, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The ceremony incorporated Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian traditions, recognizing the multicultural nature of India. For U.S. troops, it was a unique introduction to Indian culture and a bonding moment between the Soldiers. YA21 is a bilateral training exercise aimed at improving the combined interoperability of the Indian and U.S. Army to increase partner capacity for conventional, complex, and future contingencies throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
