In 1851, the British Army in India made an permanent headquarter in Rawalpindi when Marquess of Dalhousie decided to stationed the 53rd Infantry Regiment to protect India from Afghan intervention.[5] In 1854, Robert Milman from the Diocese of Calcutta had built the city's first Garrison Church and a telegraph office.Шаблон:Rp[6][5] It is also the site where Robert Milman is buried following his death in Rawalpindi in 1876.[5]
On 14 August 1947, General Frank Messervy decided to establish the army headquarters of the Pakistan Army at the Rawalpindi, which was also the headquarter of the Northern Command of the former British Indian Army; Gen. Messervy established it as "Army GHQ", which he derived from GHQ India.[5][7][8] The Army's GHQ was viewed as a temporary post in Rawalpindi since its where Gen. Messervy was based in.Шаблон:Rp[9] Since its establishment, the Army GHQ in Rawalpindi has faced many problems in civil–military relations context and criticism at broader level since the nation's capital was based in Karachi in past, and now in Islamabad.Шаблон:Rp[9]Шаблон:Rp[10] Until 2006, the Army GHQ's command post was based in Rawalpindi but later moved to Chaklala, near the vicinities of the PAF Base Chaklala and the JS HQ military headquarters.[9]

Security
Incidents, breaches, and relocation efforts
In 1970s, the Army's GHQ became a focal point of massive arrests and incidents of military police's baton charge on protestors when politicians Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (in 1970) and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (in 1977) were taken in the custody.Шаблон:Rp[13]
Due to being a significant command post of the army, the Taliban insurgents have repeatedly carried series of violent terrorist attacks at the premises of the GHQ, with first attack reported in 2007.[14]
To prevent the Taliban's repeated infiltration and to address the issue of increase security, the Army's GHQ (together with JS HQ) has been slowly moving its command infrastructure to Islamabad to integrate with the navy and air force's headquarters that are located in much safer zones of Islamabad, the nation's capital, since 2017.[15]
