After heavy losses in Op Sindoor, Pakistan mulls new top military post under unified defence command

Pakistan considers creating a new top military post, Commander of Defence Forces (CDF), to improve coordination among Army, Navy, and Air Force. The proposed position would be established through an amendment to Article 243 of Pakistan’s Constitution, influenced by heavy damage during the recent conflict with India. Pakistan promoted Army Chief General Asim Munir to Field Marshal and plans further military reforms, including renaming the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and establishing a Strategic Forces Command.
