The Air Defence Command was organized and formed in 1999 to address the Indian Army and Indian Air Force's missile threats; it has a sole mission of providing the country with effective missile and aerial defense from the approaching enemies. Its size is difficult to estimate but its support comes from the Pakistan army's Air Defence Corps that provides the administration and follows the field manuals of the Regiment of Artillery.
The Air Defence Command is stationed in North–South region of the country—one tasked with air defense of the northern region of Pakistan headquartered in Chaklala and the other with the southern region commanded from Karachi.[4]
