Primary mission statement of the PAF was given by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan during his address to the passing out cadets of the PAF Academy Risalpur on 13th April, 1948. His statement has been taken as an article of faith by all coming generations of PAF personnel:" A country without a strong Air Force is at the mercy of any aggressor, Pakistan must build up her Air Force as quickly as possible, it must be an efficient Air Force, second to none". But the present scenario has forced and enabled the Force to come up with an improved and up-to-date Mission Statement, "To provide, in Synergy with other Armed Forces, an efficient, assured and cost-effective aerial defence of Pakistan".
