=== Military use === The [[Indian Army]] uses these camels to patrol in [[Ladakh]]. It was concluded that after carrying out trials and doing a comparative study with a single-humped camel brought from [[Rajasthan]] that the double-humped camel is better suited for the task at hand. Colonel Manoj Batra, a veterinary officer of the Indian Army, stated that the double-humped camel "are best suited for these conditions. They can carry loads of {{convert|170|kg}} at more than {{convert|17000|ft}} which is much more than the ponies that are being used as of now. They can survive without water for at least 72 hours."<ref>{{cite web |first=Abhishek |last=Bhalla |date=19 September 2020 |title=Indian Army to use double-humped camels for transportation, patrolling in Ladakh |website=India Today |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/indian-army-to-use-double-humped-camels-for-transportation-patrolling-in-ladakh-1723246-2020-09-19}}</ref>
