Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir noted that the armed forces were \u201cundergoing major transformation in multiple domains\u201d, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an ISPR press release<\/a>, the army chief made the remarks while addressing troops of the Bahawalpur Garrison at Khairpur Tamewali (KPT) in Punjab, where he witnessed a high-intensity field exercise \u2018Steadfast Resolve\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corps, based at Bahawalpur Garrison, is a key strike formation of the Pakistan Army. Its area of responsibility includes the southern Punjab desert zone and its order of battle includes multiple divisions. It focuses on modern, technology-enabled, multi-domain operations, often conducting exercises in areas like Khairpur Tamewali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCOAS & CDF highlighted that Pakistan Armed Forces are undergoing major transformation in multiple domains,\u201d the military\u2019s media affairs wing said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCharacter of war has evolved massively, with technological advancements driving the evolution, dictating huge mental transformation at all tiers,\u201d the army chief observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cIn the future, technological manoeuvres will replace physical manoeuvres and will fundamentally alter the way offensive and defensive operations are undertaken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTherefore, Pakistan armed forces are embracing and absorbing technology at a rapid pace. In this process, innovation, indigenisation and adaptation shall remain fundamental.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDF Munir also lauded the troops\u2019 high morale, professional competence and operational preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reaffirmed that the armed forces remain fully prepared to defend the country\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity \u201cagainst all threats, emphasising the need to maintain optimum readiness to meet the requirements of future battlefield and security challenges\u201d, the ISPR added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Steadfast Resolve\u2019 exercise encompassed the \u201cintegration of niche technologies like unmanned aerial systems (drones), advanced surveillance assets, electronic warfare assets and modern command-and-control mechanisms, reflecting the armed forces\u2019 focus on technology-enabled multi-domain operations\u201d, the statement said.CDF and COAS Field Marshal Asim Munir visits Khairpur Tamewali in Punjab\u2019s Bahawalpur in this photo released on Jan 29, 2026. \u2014 ISPR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his visit to Bahawalpur Garrison, Field Marshal Munir was also briefed on \u201cvarious operational, training and administrative aspects of the Corps, with special focus on preparations for multi-domain warfare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon his arrival at the garrison, the CDF was received by the Bahawalpur Corps commander. He also laid a floral wreath at the Martyrs\u2019 Monument and offered prayers for the martyrs, paying tribute to their sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, COAS Munir inaugurated the \u201cROHI eSkills Learning Hub (STP) aimed at promoting digital skills and learning opportunities for students, particularly from southern Punjab and across the country\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also inaugurated the APS Abbasia Campus, reaffirming the army\u2019s commitment to \u201cquality education and character building\u201d, the ISPR said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field Marshal Munir also visited the EME Regional Workshop, where he was briefed on the maintenance regime to sustain modern platforms through advanced technologies, indigenisation, and other combat support measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2025, the Army Rocket Force Command<\/a> was established<\/a> to bolster the country\u2019s conventional strike capability. As part of it, the army successfully conducted a training launch of the Fatah-4 cruise missile<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The army chief has emphasised the importance of technological advancements in modern warfare on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, he highlighted that the multi-domain operations<\/a> conducted during the conflict with India<\/a> in May 2025 had now become a textbook example and case study for future warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also noted that the country needed to keep up with emerging spheres in warfare, such as cyberspace, the electromagnetic spectrum, outer space, information operations, and quantum computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, CDF Munir addressed officers at the Lahore Garrison<\/a>, where he witnessed a \u201cspecialised field training exercise showcasing the latest technologies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the army chief visited the National Police Academy<\/a> in Islamabad, where he stressed that a strong and people-centric police force was indispensable for ensuring internal security and the rule of law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
