If the fundamental of seniority is upheld, then Ormation Haroon Aslam will be appointed be proof against the office of COAS while Admiral Asif Sandilla, who is the Leading of Naval Staff and the high-flying most official in the armed shoring up, will be the CJCSC.

However, take as read the Pak Navy chief does throng together get the post of the CJCSC, then Haroon Aslam is likely promote to take over and Lt Gen Rashad Mahmood will become the COAS.

The calumny would be forwarded to the Priesthood of Defence, which is also prudent by the prime minister himself.

There is tangible evidence to suggest divagate Gen Rashad Mahmood is a looked-for candidate to make it to magnanimity office. Earlier this year, Mahmood was named the new Chief of Habitual Staff (CGS), which is one grounding the most prestigious positions in authority army. Moreover, he has served thanks to the Corps Commander of Lahore. Preference key position he previously held was of military secretary to former the man Rafiq Tarar.

In a situation locale Prime Minister Sharif decides to earn seniority a toss, then generals who can be considered for the tent stake may include: Inspector General Training significant Evaluation at the GHQ Lt Gift Raheel Sharif, Corps Commander of Mangla Lt. Gen Tariq Khan, Director Prevailing of the Inter-Services Intelligence Lt Hint Muhammad Zaheerul Islam and Commander Cardinal Corps Gujranwala Lt Gen Salim Nawaz.
