Notes

It may be noted that during 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, there were only two Lt. Gens in the Army; Bakhtiar Rana the Commander I Corps and Altaf Qadir who was on deputation to CENTO, Turkey and a handful of Maj. Gens, "unlike the present when both are overflowing every conceivable container."[18]

During 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, the number of Lt Gens reached eleven; three were posted at the GHQ, four were corps commanders, and the rest of four were governors under Yahya martial law. General Abdul Hamid Khan was the Chief of Staff (COS), Lt Gen S.G.M.M. Peerzada was the PSO to the President, and Lt Gen Gul Hassan Khan was the Chief of General Staff (CGS). Eastern Command was under Lt Gen A.A.K. Niazi, I Corps was under Lt Gen Irshad Ahmad Khan, II Corps was under Lt Gen Tikka Khan, IV Corps was under Lt Gen Abdul Hameed Khan (first commandant of NDC). On the other hand, governor Punjab was Lt Gen Attiqur Rahman, governor Sindh was Lt Gen Rakhman Gul, governor Balochistan was Lt Gen K.M. Azhar, and governor Balochistan was Lt Gen Riaz Hussain.

Note:This list of generals and lieutenant generals is maintained according to their seniority in the army. The list of generals and lieutenant generals is complete, but for major generals is partial. All the names in the list are extracted from open sources (which in turn rely on Pakistan Army's ISPR press releases), therefore the above names might not correlate with the actual current posts of the commanders.
