Squadron Leader Sultan Muhammad has shown exemplary qualities of leadership and devotion to duty before and during the war with India.
As Officer Commanding No.210 Wireless observer Wing, his energy, drive and thorough training specially of Ground Signalers of his wing, resulted in remarkable performance by his units who had been deployed all along the border.
Though both the Squadrons in the beginning were without their Squadron Commanders, still the units were able to move to locations along Azad Kashmir territory and soon after re-deployed in their war time locations.
The creditable performance and excellent reporting by most of his units, and the excellent discipline and devotion to duty by his units who were all in an area where there was heavy enemy air patrolling, air attacks as well as ground shelling is to a large extent due to his close supervision and untiring efforts before and during the war.
In the Kasur Sector while moving on supervisory duties, on two occasions enemy aircraft buzzed his jeep but he kept on traveling undeterred.
His efforts also enabled the charging sets repair and supply arrangement to be streamlined to an extent that a daily production of two to three charging sets became possible by the end of the conflict.
For his hard work, drive and ceaseless efforts to keep the performance of his units in top state, he was awarded Tamgha-i-Basalat.
