Pakistan’s government has introduced a Constitutional amendment to create the position of Chief of Defence Forces, aimed at enhancing coordination among the military branches. The 27th Constitutional Amendment proposes that the President appoints military chiefs on the Prime Minister’s advice, alongside provisions for lifetime promotions to senior ranks like Field Marshal. This reform follows insights drawn from recent military confrontations with India, particularly the four-day conflict in May that prompted India to undertake Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan. The amendment reflects Pakistan’s intention to streamline its military command structure amidst evolving warfare dynamics, underscoring its response to perceived threats from India while seeking to solidify its military leadership.
