While addressing the troops, the COAS lauded their high morale, professional competence and operational preparedness.

He reaffirmed that the Pakistan Armed Forces remain fully prepared to defend Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity against all threats, emphasizing the need to maintain optimum readiness to meet the requirements of future Battle field and security challenges.

The COAS highlighted that Pakistan Armed Forces are undergoing major transformation in multiple domains. Character of war has evolved massively, with technological advancements driving the evolution, dictating huge mental transformation at all tiers.

In future, technological manoeuvres will replace physical manoeuvres and will fundamentally alter the way offensive and defensive operations are undertaken.
