The statements correctly identifying Exercise 'DESERT CYCLONE' as a bilateral army exercise between India and the United Arab Emirates held in Mahajan, Rajasthan are correct.
Exercise DESERT CYCLONE marks the inaugural bilateral military exercise between the land forces of India and the United Arab Emirates, conducted in Mahajan, Rajasthan. It aims to enhance interoperability in desert warfare and counter-terrorist operations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the participating nations and service branches for Exercise DESERT CYCLONE.
Exercise DESERT CYCLONE is a bilateral exercise between the Indian Army and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Land Forces.
Distinguishing military branch (Army vs Navy/Air Force) and partner nation is key to evaluating joint defense exercises.
2
Verify the venue and operational scope of the inaugural edition.
The inaugural edition was conducted at Mahajan, Rajasthan, focusing on interoperability in sub-conventional operations in desert terrain.
Assessing official location and core operational domain confirms factual details of the exercise.
3
Evaluate incorrect service branch and multilateral domain claims.
The exercise is neither a naval mine-sweeping operation nor an SCO multilateral drill.
Cross-referencing domain scope eliminates false attributes related to naval or multilateral frameworks.
