Army to be trained to fight in FATA’

KHARIAN: The army’s operational force in the Tribal Areas and FATA would be trained in accordance with the conditions in the area, Mangla Corps Commander Lieutenant Gen Nadeem Ahmed said on Thursday. He was talking to reporters after overseeing war exercise ‘Shah Sawar 2008’ in Kharian. He said Chief of the Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Kayani has declared 2009 as the year of armed forces’ training. Gen Ahmed said all corps and units of the Pakistan Army would be trained using available resources so that capabilities of army personnel to counter any challenge could be enhanced. He added that the financial crunch being faced by the country was affecting the army as well, therefore, the activities regarding the military’s training have been curtailed. Gen Ahmed said the army would be provided state-of-the art weapons in accordance with the budgetary allocation. Commenting on the war exercise, he said front-strike corps and units could improve their performance in war zones by learning from their mistakes in exercises. The main reason behind such exercises is to learn to take strategic control of the enemy’s vital areas in case of a war, he said. online

Are thes epics of a demonstration or an exercise ?

The day time tank to tank distance & battle positions taken / shown , the presence of a jeep ahead of tanks in firing position indicates a non tactical situation.
