This chapter explores how Pakistan’s military shapes country’s political, governance and disaster management under a hybrid system. The COVID-19 highlighted military’ dual role in policy formulation and enforcement, especially when the federal government was hesitant to impose strict measures. The 1973 Constitution provides the legal framework for the military’s domestic deployment, particularly in disaster management. By responding to humanitarian emergencies, such as during the 2010 floods, the military has also influenced the course of civil-military relations. These expansive roles of the military underscore the need for developing a legislative framework to balance civil and military responsibilities, ensure effective coordination and oversight. Political governments need to adopt an oversight outlook towards military’s institutionalised role in disaster management and managing health emergencies.
