Progress is evident, all the tasks presented to the participants of the military exercises were accomplished. The exercises were primarily directed at the improvement of Officers’ skills and rise of the level of cooperation between different divisions. During the military exercises, we also managed to raise the level of field preparedness of the staff.

The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself — the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us — that's where it's at.

The first two battles of this new era are now over. The battles of Afghanistan and Iraq has been won decisively and honorably.
William Bill Kristol
I was reminded as I was reviewing my life, that I have been in too many conflicts, too many wars, political battles, military battles, civil strifes in government. And always one lesson stands out and that is, those whom you fight most passionately often turn out to be your best friends.
Ferdinand Edralin Marcos
Every philosophy is complete in itself and, like a genuine work of art, contains the totality. Just as the works of Apelles and Sophocles, if Raphael and Shakespeare had known them, should not have appeared to them as mere preliminary exercises for their own work, but rather as a kindred force of the spirit, so, too reason cannot find in its own earlier forms mere useful preliminary exercises for itself.
