As the highest ranking officer to serve solely in the pak army the chief is the professional head of the ground forces

and a key adviser to the Minister of Defence
.

The COAS, in a separate capacity, is also a member of the National Security Council and thereby

an advisor to the president and the prime minister.

Although Pakistan was founded as a democracy after its independence

from the British Raj, the military has remained one of the country's most powerful institutions

and has on occasion overthrown democratically elected civilian governments

on the basis of self-assessed

mismanagement and corruption.

The responsibility of the COAS

is to perform as the chief commander of the army,

he was responsible to make army and war policies along with other senior generals.

He had the main command authority over the army. It was also the responsibility of the general to preside over the formation commanders meeting and any other meeting in the GHQ.

The military has long been accused of

manipulating the democratic process

to maintain its dominance.

Nineteen of Pakistan's 30 prime ministers were elected,

but but NOT one of them completed their five year terms.

Having recently admitted to its past meddling in politics,

the army has said it would no longer interfere. Whether the new chief stands by that commitment could be key to Pakistan's democratic evolution.

Since its creation in 1947, Pakistan has spent several decades under military rule (1958 – 1971, 1977 – 1988, 1999 – 2008). Even under civilian rule, democratically elected representatives of the people are forced to accept an inferior position to that of Army Generals.

Pakistan Army is the defacto creator of foreign and defense policies of the country. Civilian governments have only the job of executing the orders of GHQ. Ex Pakistani foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar openly stated on media that she gets calls from Army headquarters before her foreign trips. Even though policy decisions are taken in the corps commanders (Generals who lead the biggest formation of the Army known as corps) conference, Army chief’s decision has much weight. In case of relations with India and Afghanistan, civilian leaders have little freedom to do anything.

ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan's chief of army staff Gen. Asim Munir completed his weeklong tour of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, during which sources and experts believe he sought urgent financial assistance from the Gulf monarchies to prevent Islamabad from defaulting on its loans.

This is not the first time a Pakistani army chief has engaged in economic diplomacy to ease the country's crisis. In July last year, Munir's predecessor Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa requested the White House and U.S. Treasury Department to push the International Monetary Fund for immediate lending of nearly $1.2 billion under its resumed loan program.

This kind of action typically signals a government crisis.
