Yes

 

[Pakistan Ka Beta]

is southern command commander also the corps commander of Quetta?

Whole of Balochistan is under Southern Command in Pakistan Army . Due to long border with two countries (Afghanistan , Iran ) , no 3rd Border with Indian Ocean / Arabian Sea n also due to Vast Province ( land area ) Balochistan Corps Commander is called Commander Southern Command not Corps Commander Quetta ( Like Corps Commander Peshawar,Karachi e.t.c ) . So u can say Commander Southern Command is Corps Commander Quetta but officialy its Lt Gen is called Commander Southern Command .

 

[BRAVO_]

i wish him luck, hope under his guidance our southern territories will remain safe and peaceful

Corps Commander Karachi n Peshawar are same i mean one Corps commander in entire Province like Commander Southern Command but Balochistan is unique Because > 1 . border with 2 countries plus 1 with Indian Ocean / Arabian Sea . 2 . Large Province area wise . 3 . Border with 3 Provinces ( KP , Punjab n Sindh ) which are quite Challenging/ unique so thats why Commander Southern Command not Corps Commander Quetta . Although Frontier Corps KP N Balochistan was divided into two in 2016 end i.e FC KP North (Peshawar ) , FC KP South ( DI Khan ) > 2 Major Generals n FC Balochistan North (Quetta) n FC Balochistan South (Turbat ) > 2 Major Generals while DG Punjab Rangers n DG Sindh Ranger are still 1,1 .
