According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the chief of army staff appreciated the institution’s high standards of training, intellectual rigour and professionalism, describing them as the hallmark of the college.
He expressed satisfaction over the performance of the college’s graduates, noting that they had consistently distinguished themselves through professional competence and dedication to duty.

Later, the field marshal interacted with officers and troops deployed in Balochistan and reviewed the prevailing security environment.
Reaffirming the resolve of the armed forces against militancy, he said the Pakistan Armed Forces, with the support of the people, remained fully committed to eliminating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

He also appreciated the efforts of the Government of Balochistan aimed at public welfare, socio-economic uplift and strengthening ties between the state and the people.
