[Audio] Op Vijay (1999) OP vijay is one of the most recent examples of high altitude warfare in mountain terrain, which posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides. The terrain the Kargil and surrounding regions of the Line of Control (LoC) is inhospitable in the of times. The battle terrain of o P vijay is dominated by high altitude peaks and ridge. The military outposts on the ridges were generally around 5000 mtr (16000 ft) h with a few as high as 5485 metres (18000 ft). The terrain is extremely rugged with few tracks leading from the main roads towards the LoC. By 30 June 1999 Indian forces were prepared for a major high altitude offer against Pakistani posts along the border. The previous 06 weeks India had move infantry divisions, 05 independent brigades and 44 battalions of paramilitary troop Kashmir.

On 01 December 1950, they found themselves in Pyongyang, where the, military conflict was active, after a brief rest at Taegu. On 4 December, they were ordered to withdraw from Pyongyang area to Seoul. Despite they challenging situation, the men of sixty refused to leave without their equipment and stores. Determined to carry out their mission, they travelled at night to avoid detection, hiding under tunnels and bridges during the day. Along the way they discovered a railway engine and a few bogies, filling the engine with water using buckets from a nearby river, earning them the nickname "THE bucket BRIGADE". After gathering coal to fuel the engine, they drove the train until it was destroyed on 5 December. Nevertheless, they reached Seoul on 6 December with their equipment, stores, and vehicles intact, continuing their medical services there. By the end of January 1951, the 60th received orders for a second withdrawal, this time alongside the 27th British Brigade under 9 Corps.
