At the conclusion of the exercises, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief highly assessed the level of preparedness of the units and the degree of coordination achieved in their joint actions.

In a discussion with the Armed Forces command staff, the President emphasized that amid escalating global security threats, further strengthening the Armed Forces’ capabilities, ensuring unity between the people and the army, and fostering patriotism among young people should form the core of ongoing military reforms.
