Who will be the next Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJSC)

[Fieldmarshal]

PA first army chief gen. Gracy was from the corps. Of Engineers.
Corps of Eng. Are the heart of the battle field as they are the first in and last out.
We have and have had many a brilliant field commanders, tacticians and leaders from the Corps. Of eng.
So this talk is bs

Its actually not BS.

The precedent of a Infantry man or cavalry man rising to the post of COAS is very strong.

It also makes sense. Fighting is the core function of the army. Engineering is a support function. This happens even in corporate organisations where employees from core functions like Sales, Marketing rise to the top. The same formula applies here.

So Mush was a fraud?!

Hi,

Was he not a combat soldier---?

From Arty, not from armour or infantry as you prefer.

Artillery was his parent unit but he joined SSG as a captain. And SSG is the elite of the best.

 

[Cuirassier]

Of course, but still from Arty, was pointing out to the old man mastan.

Artillery was his parent unit but he joined SSG as a captain. And SSG is the elite of the best.

I was totally unaware, thanks old man.

[Dreamer.]

so artillery officers are not combat soldiers? or is artillery not a fighting arm?? ridiculous!

and what about air defence, aviation etc. those are also fighting arms.

does not have to be infantry or armour.

According to Wikipedia Gen Sarfraz Sattar , who is currently DG SPD , or incharge of our Nuclear Force , will be senior most General at the time of retirement of General Qamar Bajwa . Also Wikipedia has written following lines about him :

During General Raheel Sharif’s stint as the COAS, the most junior lieutenant general was Sarfraz Sattar. It would not be out of place to mention here that General (retd) Raheel Sharif, before his retirement, suggested his name as one of the options for the military command in 2019 for continuation of his policies.

I am not sure how much Lt Gen Sarfraz Sattar is in favor with Gen Qamar Bajwa but it is big chance he will either replace current CJSCS Gen Zubair Hayat or become Army Chief provided CJCSC is chosen from Air Force or Navy !

By the way since our Prime Minister Imran Khan has to make the choice then I am sure he will look for some "Usman Buzdar" among the available Generals .........it is another thing that he will not be able to find such because of high professional ability of our Generals !

BTW who maintains this page? Is it wise? Or Stupid?

Show me one similar source on the net for any other army in the world.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Yes, either Nadeem or Bilal Akbar as the COAS, currently these 2 are the main brains in the General Staff of PA.

Bilal Akbar has a very serious and charismatic personality , he was the reason for peace in Karachi , I hope he replace Bajwa .

Foreign intelligence are much aware about our postings, the occupants and their backgrounds in military. The information available publically is insignificant to them other than it being a counter check source.
This being said, we are aware that such information has potential to harm our security but the threat posed by the details available in open are relatively less.
Much more sensitive information is available on internet and social websites which we need to control and we are in the process of doing it all the time.

 

[Dreamer.]

This is wrong to assume that since foreign intelligence knows everything we should start publicizing this information for all and sundry. Does all of this not apply to other countries? Show me one page like this for another country?

So you would say western intelligence would also be aware of russian and chinese senior staff? where are the respective pages?

And aside from all of this I want a list of Indian Army, air force and navy 2-4 star officers right now!! Just send me the link.
