“I would also like to take this opportunity, as our country is still celebrating the 59th anniversary of its independence day, to renew to you, to the Military Academy of Cherchell and to all its executives and the staff, and through you to all the personnel of People's National Army, the warmest wishes, praying to Allah the Almighty that he makes us relive this glorious national holiday with more strength and stability.

The Lieutenant General affirmed that People's National Army has been and will remain a real school for training men and that the High Command concerned, not only to instil in the students, at all levels, the foundations of science and knowledge in all their fields, but also to anchor in their minds the noble principles and the values of patriotism of devotion to Algeria and fidelity to the oath of the glorious Chouhada.

It is also from these factors that it draws the elements of its power and its expected development, acting with the support of the President of the Republic, Supreme Chief of the Armed Forces, Minister of National Defence, to bring together the factors of success, conforming to the nobility of these constant national values.
Among these abundant factors on which People's National Army relies and makes it one of the elements of acquisition of power in its most global sense, the Military Academy of Cherchell the Late President “Houari Boumediene” which has acquired a good reputation, thanks to the high level of academic education provided to students who have reached the ranks of excellence, in terms of competence and skills, imbued with all the senses of patriotism, devotion to Algeria and loyalty to the oath of the valiant Chouhada.
In addition to anchoring the foundations of science and knowledge in all their fields, in the minds of students across all levels, we constantly strive to recall the meaning of noble principles and values, from which our army draws its funds from training and makes it an essential catalyst for successful work. We also make sure to constantly remind ourselves that these principles and values are the solid bonds that link our glorious national history with the present of Algeria and its promising future.”
The Lieutenant General indicated that among the indicators of the development achieved by People's National Army, indeed on the ground, are the advances made in the development of these combat and operational capacities:
“It is certain that among the development indicators actually achieved on the ground, by the People's National Army, worthy heir to the National Liberation Army, these advances made in terms of the development of its combat and operational capacities, in particular by the successful execution of tactical exercises, throughout the training year, while the High Command of People's National Army pays extreme attention to the combat readiness of the forces, in order to continuously increase the availability of personnel in combat and their mastery of the various modern weapon systems available to People's National Army and consequently, to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the units of our Army, deployed in all corners of our national territory. These are the development objectives that we are still working on and with great determination to anchor their foundations, through the enhancement of the efforts made by military personnel in all categories and all levels.”
