Career
Lieutenant General Munir, who previously served as Pakistan’s spy head and COAS, will follow General Qamar Javed Bajwa, who will stand down at the end of this month after serving as COAS for six years.
Lt. Gen. Asim Munir will be the most experienced candidate for CJCSC and COAS. Despite receiving a two-star overall promotion in September 2018, he didn’t get the job until two months later. His four-year stint as a lieutenant general would expire on November 27th, when the present CJCSC and COAS remove their military uniforms.
As the suggestions and choices for the appointment of the two four-star generals are made earlier, General Bajwa will determine whether to add his name, and the Prime Minister will make the ultimate decision. He’s an excellent commander, but given the circumstances, he may be the typical dark horse.
Lieutenant General Munir joined the Army and was assigned to the Border Force Regiment after finishing the Officer Training School (OTS) programme at Mangla. Since serving as a brigade commander in the Northern Areas of Force Charge under General Bajwa, who was then in command of X Corps, he has been a close acquaintance of the present COAS. In early 2017, he was appointed DG of Military Intelligence, then in October of same year, he was named Head of ISI.
However, his term as a top intelligence officer was the shortest in history, with Lieutenant General Faiz Hamid replacing him after just eight months at the request of then-Prime Minister Imran Khan. He was appointed Commander of the Gujranwala Corps for two years before transferring to GHQ as Quartermaster General.
