Military career
Zaman was formally commissioned into the Pakistan Armed Forces in 1980, after graduating from the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) with a Sword of Honour, at which he later also served an instructor at the School of Infantry and Tactics.[1]
He also attended the National Defence University, Pakistan (NDU), Joint Services Command and Staff College, UK (JSCSC) and Royal College of Defence Studies, UK (RCDS).[1]
He served as General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 7th Infantry Division, Corps Commander of the IV Corps and as Military Secretary at Army General Headquarters (GHQ).[2][3][4][5][6]
During his service as the GOC of the 7th Infantry Division, he partook in Operation Rah-e-Nijat (Path to Salvation) which cleared out the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other associated militant groups from Pakistan's South Waziristan Agency, and brought it back under the control of the Government of Pakistan.
Zaman is a recipient of the Hilal-i-Imtiaz (Star of Crescent) by the Government of Pakistan.
In September 2014, Zaman was reportedly shortlisted as a candidate by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to succeed Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Zaheer-ul-Islam, who was about to retire. Ultimately Major General (Later Lt. Gen.) Rizwan Akhtar was selected and appointed to the job.[7][8]
