[khalid hussain digital005]

After constant tries and efforts in order to counter the rising terrorism and growing Indian aggression the Pakistan army has initiated a new training program in order to prepare troops for multiple scenarios . This is the PACES program .
The program was started during the tenure of Gen.Ashfaq pervaiz kyani .After suffering heavy losses in the 2009 Swat operation Rah-e-Rahst it was decided that a news soldier was required who could not only operate in all terrains unlike the conventional soldiers which mostly operated in flat lands or deserts .These soldiers also had be resilient and were capable of enduring mental and physical stress during times of war.
The program was led by a team of army medical corps officers under the command of Commander PACES
Cell Brig.Yousuf Baig.
The training is as follows :

1. 10 km in 8.5 min
2. 2800 pushups in an hour
3. 3000 reach ups in an hour
4. 80 over grip pull ups in 20 min
5. CET (Combat efficiency Test)

10 km in 8.5 min ?

It is a mistake. The actual time is 30 min.

Most of our soldiers come from living in villages, that is why they have good stamina and operate better in terrains like NW compared to forces operating in Afghanistan. If proper training and opportunities are provided I think they can improve their physical fitness and stamina.

Having said that, can somebody tell me what happened in post#16 on this thread . Mehrbania?
