SIALKOT: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Friday visited formation of Sialkot Corps during its winter collective training exercise.
COAS witnessed the final phase of the operational exercise by an Infantry Division, according to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
He appreciated battle procedures and operational proficiency of the participants.
Speaking on the occasion, the army chief said that the military cannot afford to ignore preparations and readiness for conventional response despite our commitments in the ongoing Operation Radd ul Fasaad.
“Our experience of sub conventional operations adds to our combat worthiness. A professional Army being well trained, equipped and practiced deters war,” the ISPR quoted the army chief as saying.
COAS said he takes pride in leading an army which by the grace of Allah Almighty has served the nation by successfully combating terrorism and is prepared to respond to any conventional threat on borders for defence of the motherland.
