SIALKOT: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa on Friday visited the formation of Sialkot Corps during its winter collective training exercise.

He witnessed the final phase of the operational exercise by an Infantry Division, an Inter-Services Public Relations press release stated.

The army chief appreciated procedures and operational proficiency of the participants.

“We cannot afford to ignore our preparations and readiness for a conventional response despite our commitments to the ongoing Operation Raddul Fasaad. Our experience of sub-conventional operations is an add-on to our combat worthiness,” Gen Bajwa said on the occasion.

He said he was proud of leading an army that was prepared to respond to any conventional threat on the borders.
