During his visit, Sarma witnessed combat tactics demonstrations using drones and explored the training areas where he observed jungle lane shooting, commando briefings, tribal trap and reflex shooting range exercises. He also marveled at martial arts and karate demonstrations by Army personnel. Following the visit, Sarma attended a program at the Centre's Dah Auditorium, where a documentary on the Assam Regiment's history was screened.
The event featured Bihu dance performances and presentations on martial traditions of Northeastern warriors.
Sarma interacted with officers, Army personnel, and the families of 24 Agniveers and 20 ex-servicemen. He discussed the Centre's operations with the Centre Commandant, Lt General Mohit Wadhwa, and Brigadier Vikas Rai Sandilya. The Chief Minister reflected on the sacrifices made by soldiers to safeguard the nation's freedom and territorial integrity, acknowledging their courage, valour, and patriotism as a source of inspiration for future generations.
