Pakistan Army Air Defence Corps

The Pakistan Army Corps of Air Defence is a military administrative and combat service support branch of the Pakistan Army. Reporting directly to the Army GHQ. As of early 2026, the Commander of the Pakistan Army Air Defence Command (AADC) is Lieutenant General Muhammad Zafar Iqbal.

The Pakistan Army Air Defence Corps was commissioned into the Pakistan Army as an administrative staff branch from the partition of the former British Indian Army's Corps of Army Air Defence, and it was inspected by then-Governor-General Muhammad Ali Jinnah on 21 February 1948.

The Pakistan Army Air Defence Corps provides an effective air defense against the foreign threats by employing anti-aircraft tactics to defend the airspace of the country. Since its commissioning as an administrative corps, the army air defense is structured in regimental composition and has twelve active regiments.

The education and training for the personnel to be commissioned in the corps of army air defence is provided at the School of Army Air Defence (SAAD) located in Malir Cantonment in Karachi, Sindh. The corps is commanded by the director-general, usually serving as an active-duty two star rank, major-general, working under the Chief of the General Staff at the Army GHQ in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan.
