Pakistan's cabinet has approved a new Defence Act that gives Asim Munir, the Chief of Defence Forces, extensive powers over the military command. Munir will head a unified command covering the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with authority over military operations, personnel, and national security matters. The new law also allows him to hire, fire, retire, and retain military personnel, and relax retirement limits. The Defence Forces Act, 2026, and the amended National Command Authority Act, 2010, expand Munir's role and influence over military officers' careers.
