In June, General Qamar had attended the closing session of corps-level war games at Sialkot and the conclusion of corps-level field exercise in Kotli in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

The war game was based on the defensive operations cycle of a corps under a conventional battlefield environment in line with operational and planning directives of the Pakistan army, the ISPR added.

In February last year, while attending the ongoing War Game of the Central Command in Kharian Garrison, the COAS commended the innovativeness of military planners to cope with mounting challenges and ensure impregnability of the country's defence.

The military's media wing said that the army chief also interacted with officers and appreciated their professionalism, operational readiness and commitment to defend motherland in the face of conventional and non-conventional threats.

"The COAS also praised them for their high morale and indomitable spirit," the ISPR added.
