Pakistan Army, foreign militaries participate in Team Spirit competition

RAWALPINDI: The second five-day Pakistan Army Team Spirit (PATS) competition, which started on Saturday, continued near Jhelum today.

Military teams from China, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Thailand and UK along with eight Pakistan Army teams are participating in the competition.

On the second day of PATS, the foreign teams entered the competition where they were tested for their physical fitness, endurance and team spirit, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

The Team Spirit is a narrative-based competition held under extremely challenging environments. A patrol from every participating team is tasked to infiltrate in a terrorist-infested area, carry out a task and exfiltrate, the ISPR said.

The first PATS competition was won by Mangla Corps of Pakistan Army.
