This is a list of formations of the Pakistan Army, the land warfare branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces. With a strength of approximately 520,000 active personnel, it has traditionally operated in line with the British Indian Army since its establishment in 1947. However, with growing modernization, many traditional formations have been disbanded in favor of modern structures, a process largely completed during the 21st century.
The Pakistan Army is organized into various formations such as corps, regiments, artilleries, divisions, commands, brigades, and battalions. As of 2024 unofficial reports, the army operates nine corps across the four provinces which further operates nineteen administrative corps.
It has four regiments divided into armoured regiment; reportedly consisting 14 cavalries, infantry regiment; consisting six regiments, artillery regiment; consisting two artilleries, and the Frontier Force regiment which is grouped into sixteen rifles and scouts. It operates six divisions across the country with three divisions in Punjab and two in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Since 1947, the army has participated in various wars such as the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and the 1971 war. After the Indo-Pakistani war of 1947–1948, the army developed specific formations to address the new strategic realities along the borders. During the 1965 and 1971 wars, new units and formations were established to address the changing nature of warfare.[4][3]
