Summary
First Lieutenant Rei Miyajima of the Japanese Defense Force: Cold Weather Combat Training Unit comes via the Indian Air Force to the Indian Army's Special Warfare Brigade Ladakh Scouts located in the Siachen Glacier as part of a secret officer exchange program. He meets Captain Wangchuck.

Wangchuck's unit are at this time the only ones to have armed Exoframes for front line usage, which is why Miyajima has come to them, as he has to make a report on this. Wangchuck explains how Exoframes work, as Miyajima has never seen a real one before.

Wangchuck's unit are preparing for combat with the Pakistan Armed Forces, however he notes that due to how treacherous the mountain is - there have been more deaths due to it than hostile attacks. He explains that the Indians began to use Exoframes in response to the Pakistani doing so, so as not to fall behind in combat.

Exoframes of Azad Kashimir Regiment are spotted having crossed the cease-fire line and the Ladakh Scouts proceed to engage them. Miyajima is the first to go in, followed by another soldier and soon Wangchuck himself. Miyajima takes down the regiment's Exoframes before heading off.

Wangchuck reveals to his soldiers that he believes Miyajima was not actually from the Japanese Defense Force.
