Part 3/8:
Pakistan's military force comprises approximately 654,000 active-duty personnel, with an additional 550,000 in reserves. Factors such as its geographic positioning, with significant military assets stationed along the Indian border, shape its strategic focus. The military branches consist primarily of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with paramilitary forces augmenting their capabilities during wartime.
The operational strategy leans heavily towards defending against immediate threats from neighboring countries, particularly India. With around 70-80% of its forces stationed along the border with India, Pakistan emphasizes ground and air force readiness instead of expansive naval capabilities.
