Earlier this month, the national security establishment underwent a major restructuring through an amendment to Article 243 of the Constitution, alongside changes in legislations governing the Army, Air Force, and Navy. The amendment also abolished the office of CJCSC, a tri-service post designed to maintain institutional balance and coordination within the armed forces.
