 [Press release]
LAHORE: Pakistan Army has started extensive training exercise at Feroza Field Firing Range near Rahim Yar Khan. The aim of this exercise is to test the fighting mettle of all the major components of Pakistan Army through field firing and inoculation drills.
| Wonder if they have any counter-insurgency training planned? |
The exercise includes a combined Infantry-Armour assault integrated with massive fire support by artillery both during day and night under simulated battle conditions.
| Boy howdy, that'll all come in handy against the Talibunnies in the Northwest Frontier and FATA. Too bad the soldiers aren't going there. |
The soldiers of PAF, Artillery, Armour and Baktar Shikan have demonstrated excellent live firepower skills on moving and static targets.
| There's some live-fire training available in Wazoo. Who's game? |
Major General Shoukat Sultan Khan, General Officer Commanding visited the exercise area and appreciated the resilience and professional standards displayed by all the troops and urged them to continue their training to enhance the battle efficiency of the fighting units.
