Next Chief Of Army Staff - 2013 ?

[Amaa'n]

India pakistan both have British legacy armed forces thus why both have same chain of command but why there are difference in selection of COAS

just because we have similar chain of command and legacy does not mean we should jump in the pool full of sharks......
you will always have one person on the same ranks with more traits. No one is diminishing any General here. Whoever makes to top has already proven themselves of worthy but as I said you will always find someone with better traits.

 

[Ark-Angel]

I'd love to see Tariq Khan as next CGS.
Everyone is talking about who next Chief will be and forgetting the fact that CJSC (GENERAL Khalid) is due to retire on 6 October 2013.
Rashad Mahmood na hon promote bus.

 

[Ark-Angel]

in my opinion Lt. General Rashad should be the next COAS

He is not liked by majority of Army officers.

 

[Ark-Angel]

While he was IG FC during the War of Bajaur his son got kidnapped and kidnappers demands were against the interest of the state but within his power.
His son returned in pieces.

No. Nothing such happened.

You really think something like this would have a news report/article. I know this from a person who served under him while this happened in Bajaur that is.

Your report is inaccurate. I belong to a military family and I know Tariq Khan personally.

SO you are influenced with some sufi predictions.

 

[Zarvan]

SO you are influenced with some sufi predictions.

Sufi predictions are not wrong in many cases they are right but we should not base our policies on that we should base our policies on Quran and Sunnah and what is going on these days and what is better for Muslim Ummah and as for next Army chief it should be the senior most Nawaz should not make same mistake again of making some junior the Army chief

 

[Tk_90]

What is this sufi prediction?

 

[TaimiKhan]

A per the new policy the Major serves longer than a Lt Col and full Col. Correct me if I am wrong. I think they introduced this a few months back.

Yeah i believe some changes have been done prolonging the tenure of junior ranks, mostly at Capt & Major ranks.

I am not into details of how much, if found out will try to share.

General Wyne will retire before COAS and someone has to fill that slot as well, the equation becomes interesting

 

[Armstrong]

@fatman17 @TaimiKhan @F.O.X @Xeric - Shouldn't, ideally, a COAS have at least 4-5 years at the COAS slot so that his philosophy & methodology gets to fully permeate the Army & that he still has enough time to show 'results' & tweak & tune his 'game plan' as per how it responded when it got translated from the 'drawing board' to actual tangible results on the ground ?

1-2 years seems woefully in-adequate; eik Football Team Manager ko bhii 1-2 seasons lagteiii hain apneii aaap ko properly establish karneiii mein & to get the team working the way he wants to before the 'results' start showing !

the tenure used to be 4 years when the seat was referred to as C-in-C. then the PPP leaders decided to reduce it to 3 years in line with the US system.

General Wyne will retire before COAS and someone has to fill that slot as well, the equation becomes interesting

the post may go to PAF or NAVY this time around as per the rule of rotation.
