Through these exceptional results, which are added to the remarkable success achieved by our national team in the specialty Airborne Section-2022, recently hosted by Algeria, you have demonstrated the major steps taken by military sport in Algeria, in the different disciplines, thanks to the continuous and sustained interest reserved by the High Command, in the field of sports and physical education within PNA.”
