Asim Munir Appointed Pakistan’s First Chief of Defence Forces

Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, has been appointed as the country’s first Chief of Defence Forces, gaining formal command over all three military branches. The appointment—approved by President Asif Ali Zardari on the advice of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif—follows the creation of the new post through the 27th Constitutional Amendment to Article 243. Munir will serve a five-year term while continuing as Chief of Army Staff. The restructuring consolidates operational, administrative, and strategic authority under a single military head, marking Pakistan’s most significant command overhaul since the 1970s.
