Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi has been inducted into the International Hall of Fame of the US Army War College, marking a significant recognition of his military leadership. The honour was conferred during his visit to the United States, making him the third Indian Army Chief to receive this distinction after General V K Singh and General Bikram Singh, according to the Indian Army.
The induction took place at Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania, where the US Army War College is located. General Dwivedi, an alumnus of the institution, was formally inducted as part of its International Hall of Fame, which recognises senior military leaders from allied nations for their contributions to defence and strategic leadership.
During his visit, General Dwivedi engaged with faculty members and international officers at the US Army War College. He addressed discussions on leadership development, professional military education, and emerging global security challenges. He also toured key facilities at the institution and participated in academic sessions, including panel discussions and the review of advanced research projects under the college’s scholars programme.

Earlier in his US tour, General Dwivedi visited Hawaii, where he was accorded a Guard of Honour at Fort Shafter, the headquarters of US Army Pacific. There, he held high-level discussions with General Ronald P Clark, Commanding General of US Army Pacific, focusing on strengthening India–US defence cooperation and enhancing coordination in the Indo-Pacific region, an area of growing strategic importance for both nations.
The Indian Army stated that the Army Chief also undertook an aerial tour of Oahu island to gain insights into the region’s training infrastructure and multi-domain operational preparedness. These engagements were aimed at deepening operational understanding and interoperability between the two armed forces. His visit comes amid a series of recent high-level exchanges between India and the United States, including visits by the chiefs of the Indian Air Force and Navy. The continued dialogue underscores expanding defence cooperation between the two countries, particularly in areas related to joint training, strategic planning, and regional security in the Indo-Pacific.
