An army vehicle would not stop you and ask you for CNIC/ID if you did absolutely nothing. What would they get out of that anyways? Even if it’s a soldier trying to act big, it just makes no sense. (I’m not accusing or blaming you in any way, it just seems weird, or maybe it’s because I don’t have full context)
Either you did something, with or without realizing, or they were deployed there for relevant reasons.
If neither is the case (or even if it is the case and you feel that the officer/Soldier misbehaved with you) then forward a report to the Corps HQ, it will be dealt with seriously. There is accountability inside the army at least. You don’t even need the officer/soldiers name or rank or PA number, even if you have the vehicles number, it is enough identification. Regardless of what you did or didn’t do, if the officer is threatening you after the fact about being able to come to your house and whatnot, that’s enough of a reason to report him already. Just confirm that it is actually an officer/Army personnel before doing so.
To answer you original question:
Rangers Can do that. Police can do that. Army can only do that unless deployed there for relevant reasons (if there is meant to be any sort of movement of troops, weapons, VVIPs in that area, as mentioned by other users before, you can read all that.)
they can not just perform a traffic stop and ask you for your ID while they and you are both just traveling from point A-B.
But I would suggest that unless an army personnel acts aggressively towards you, there’s nothing wrong with showing identification to them. You never know that they might be deployed in the area for proper reasons;
As an example I have seen a joint ANF and army team stopping vehicles in the middle of a motorway once to check them, Since the ANF is there you can simply guess why.
