Sword of Honor

Sword of Honor

Sword of Honor is an honorary sword awarded to that “Gentleman Cadet” or “Gentlewoman Cadet” who achieves an overall best performance during his/her entire training period at Pakistan Military Academy, at Kakul, or Pakistan Air Force Academy at Risalpur, or Pakistan Naval Academy, at Karachi. A receipt of "Sword of Honor" is deemed as a great honor among the Officers of Armed Forces of Pakistan and every cadet dreams of getting the same.

This award is usually given away at the final passing out ceremony, which takes place every year at the sprawling parade grounds of the respective Academies. Historically it has been the President of Pakistan who confers this honor.
