Pakistan Centralizes Military Command Under Field Marshal Asim Munir in 2026 Overhaul
Pakistan has restructured its military command system, replacing the coordination-based model with a centralized structure led by Field Marshal Asim Munir, who now serves as both Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces. Enacted through the 27th Constitutional Amendment and the Defence Forces of Pakistan Act, 2026, this change unifies operational command across the army, navy, and air force under a single authority. The overhaul aims to enhance multi-domain integration, eliminate service silos, and improve rapid crisis response, marking the most significant military reorganization in Pakistan since 1976.
