Pakistan Army is world's most accomplished force: Gen Raheel
60
RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif on Monday said the Pakistan Army was the “most accomplished” force the world now recognised after having “cleansed large remote areas of terrorists in the most treacherous terrain and in the most trying circumstances.”
Talking to officers and troops after witnessing the conclusion ceremony of the 4th Army Physical Agility and Combat Efficiency System (PACES) Championship at Kharian Cantonment, General Raheel termed the army’s performance in recent operations as “phenomenal.”
He also expressed satisfaction over objectives of new physical standards achieved through the new fitness regime.
“We must continue to train hard in peace time to be able to take on multi-dimensional challenges in future conflicts,” said the army chief.
Later, the COAS gave away trophies to the winning and runner-up teams and also distributed medals for individual performances.
A hundred “Fittest of the Fit” and five “Super Fit” soldiers of Pakistan Army were awarded certificates and insignias.
On his arrival at Kharian, the army chief was received by Corps Commander 1 Corps Lieutenant General Mian Muhammad Hilal.

For the long term fix, revise the curriculum in the education system. Science and Theology must be taught as different subjects (like they used to be in the 60s).

No doubt our army is one of the most accomplished one and is duely recognised in the west. But at the same time one must remember the highs (Raheel) and lows (Musharaf) of it. It is the leader of a force which makes it look the way people see it. The real leader must has a special quality which is above all other qualities, that is to ansure that there is an other Raheel to follow him when he leaves the force.

An army is just that, an army. Nothing more nothing less. A fighting force, a covenanted service with training in various disciplines and duty to safeguard the populace from harm. The role of the army is rapidly changing in the world: more internal maintenance of order by armed means rather than external aggressive acts.

Great work! Pakistan Army! You can save Pakistan if you pursue right policies! Right now you are under the leadership of Gen. Raheel Shareef! In today's era, the most important accomplishment in a society is how much knowledge based the society is? Knowledge helps a society to build its economically and other important measures. Please develop super quality education system within Army institutions and develop military and civilian staff from such institutions! China is doing exactly same. India did it long time ago. We must do. This should be exactly like Harvard Universities but accessible to all Pakistanis and students from abroad on metrit basis. Top quality Research and learning centres on massive scale is what we need. Please do it! Army should do it!!!

very interesting comments... We must never forget why we have, and why we need our military. Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe from within and from out side, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, walk around without fear knowing we have 'guardians at the gate.'... but unfortunately bad elements somehow slip in not only in our major cities but in our basses as well.
