The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Manoj Pandey said that the fast changing and evolving technology has changed the nature of war in modern times. He was addressing the passing out contingent of Indian and foreign Gentlemen Cadets at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) on Saturday. General Pandey said in the changing scenario, technological knowhow, mental swiftness and prompt decision making hold the key for success. He called upon the young officers to continue updating themselves.
He said, “The profession of soldiering is the noblest of all professions that gives you a unique opportunity to don the uniform and serve your motherland, with selfless devotion. It is a career, driven by a sense of purpose and demands sacrifices from you, beyond the call of duty. In the years ahead, your resilience, determination and unwavering resolve, will be the bedrock upon which the Indian Army will continue to make the tricolour proud, in all its pursuits.”
The Army chief complimented the parents of the GCs of the passing out contingent. “To transform these young boys into combat leaders has been our shared vision, and today, we see it happening before us. The nation will remain indebted for your valued contribution,’’ he said. The Army Chief also complimented the FGCs and said, “I am sure, you as ambassadors of your country will carry back a treasure of good memories of the place and training with you and will cherish them forever. The Indian Military Academy has imparted training to you which form bedrock for your growth both professionally and personally and will definitely strengthen the friendly ties between our countries.”
