At the national counterterrorism centre in Pabbi, the 7th international Pakistan Army team spirit exercise 2024 opened with a ceremony.
The 60-hour patrol exercise, which aims to improve military-to-military cooperation in a difficult international security environment, was inaugurated by the Director General of Military Training.
Twenty friendly nations are taking part in the event, along with military observers.
Major players in the exercise include the United States of America, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Jordan, Kazakhstan, the Maldives, Morocco, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkiye, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Myanmar, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, and Oman will watch in a military observer role.
The Pakistan Army Team Spirit is an annual professional military exercise that focuses on specific missions and tasks. It is conducted throughout Pakistan.
The exercise requires the greatest levels of mental and physical acuity, resilience, and professional military competence to enable swift decision-making in a variety of scenarios while carrying out difficult operations in an environment that is almost identical to the actual one.
This exercise’s goal and objectives centre on tenacity as demonstrated by teamwork.
Beyond interoperability, the exercise would help refine fundamental soldierly qualities through the exchange of creative ideas and reciprocal best practices.
