India and USA will be looking forward to the signing of an historic agreement called the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement. This agreement would not only open doors for further purchase of military equipment but also make the sharing of sensitive defense technology slightly less cumbersome. The basic idea of agreement is to provide each other with spare parts, refueling , Logistics support and supplies. It would allow American military to use Indian bases and vice versa although certain clauses have been re-written according to the Indian requirements. This agreement has been described as a foundational agreement for further cooperation between America and India. Although no American troops would be stationed at Indian bases and vice versa it's just a simple agreement allowing ships to make port calls and aircraft to land and refuel and resupply. This agreement would help India in increasing it's influence in Asia as United States has a lot of naval stations in the Indo-Pacific region.The United States Navy is the most powerful Navy in Asia as the Asia-Pacific region get's the lion's share of American war machines be it P-8 Posiedon aircraft or Littoral Combat Ships.
