Retirements
Gen (retd) Bajwa was one of Pakistan’s longest-serving army officers. He left his position on November 29, 2022 after serving for six years. Prior to his departure, Bajwa had been in office for six years.
As he joined the Pakistani Army in 1978 and was commissioned on October 24, 1980, he served in the military for more than 44 years. Bajwa served in the military for 2,190 days (six years) during his career. On November 29, 2016, he succeeded General Raheel Shareef.
The former COAS collaborated with two presidents—the late Mamnoon Hussain and Dr. Arif Alvi—as well as five premiers—Nawaz Sharif, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Justice ret. Nasirul Mulk, Imran Khan, and Shehbaz Sharif.
Days after the federal government selected Gen Asim Munir as the new army chief and Gen Mirza as CJCSC, Hamid submitted an application to retire early from the army. He had been serving as an army officer. Following the federal government’s selections, the applicant submitted the application.
General Headquarters (GHQ) chose Hamid as one of six senior army officers to be candidates for the position of army chief.
