Seemed quite interesting description.

Any thoughts on the below statement in page 158 form the above doc.

And although Pakistani officers also have not seen high-intensity combat since 1971, two entire generations of the Pakistan Army’s younger officers have spent virtually their entire professional lives fighting a skilled and determined foe in the western part of the country. Not only have these junior and midlevel officers learned combat leadership skills, the Pakistan Army for the first time has a truly professional noncommissioned officer corps.

Similar study by the same author on Pakistan is present in the below doc.
