I think he was more focused on the paragraphs before that

The real focus belongs elsewhere, which the article clearly states:

But the security establishment's enduring interest in a pliable and cooperative new government that does not interfere in its dealings will guarantee continued military involvement in politics - not the other way around.

Bottom line: Status Quo.
 
.
Perhaps it was this obsessive bit :

Still, observers could not help but ponder the possible military connections to each challenge - a state of mind that is second nature in a place like Pakistan, which has spent nearly three decades under military rule since its independence in 1947. The obsessive speculation also suggests a deep-seated expectation in Pakistani culture for the military to come to the country's rescue from a corrupt, inefficient government, even at the expense of democracy.

Paucity of funds: FC expansion plan hits snags

From the Newspaper | Zulfiqar Ali


PESHAWAR: A plan to add 14 wings to the Frontier Corps (FC) to increase its strength ahead of Nato forces’ withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 has been put on hold because of shortage of resources, according to a senior security official.

“The FC needs to be strengthened to cope with the situation after withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan. But, the plan cannot be executed because of financial constraints,” the official told Dawn. The plan required approximately Rs14 billion, he said, adding that creation of one wing would cost about Rs1bn for expenses on salaries, weapons and logistics.

He said 14 new wings would have increased the strength of the paramilitary force to 65,000 with each wing comprising about 900 personnel. At present the strength of the FC is about 50,000 and it is commanded by a two-star general.

Formed in 1907 by Lord Curzon, then viceroy of British India, FC was primarily created to patrol the 1250-km stretch of border from Chitral to Gulkach (South Waziristan), to curb smuggling and assist political administration in maintaining law and order in the tribal area.

But after 9/11 the FC assumed the role of an anti-terrorism force in Fata where it conducts joint operations with the army to crush militancy.

But, the official said, the force had not been adequately trained and properly equipped to fight Al Qaeda and Taliban. (More than 900 soldiers of the force have been killed and over 2,000 injured in the ongoing campaign against insurgency.)

Realising this, the army provided the FC with tanks and heavy artillery and the US military imparted counter-insurgency training and provided equipment to enhance its capability.

But American trainers were sent back after Nato attack on Salala post in Mohmand Agency on Nov 26, 2011, in which 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed.

“FC has been (adversely) affected in terms of training and funds after the departure of American trainers,” said the official.

“Suspension of US assistance is one of the reasons which have led to delay in the execution of the plan of induction of wings.”

Since army could not permanently stay in Fata, he said, the FC had to be prepared to meet security challenges. For example, it needs helicopters. The FC patrols hundreds of kilometres of the border area but has only one helicopter which is used by its chief (inspector-general).

The FC depended on the army for mobility in an emergency and it had been proposed that the paramilitary force should have its own aviation wing, he said.

It is learnt that the expansion plan included providing gunship and transport helicopters and air ambulances to the FC. “The plan requires heavy funding which is not possible in the present situation,” the official said.

The 23-year-old Aman Ullah is one of the thousands of Pakistani soldiers coping with wounds sustained in Pakistan’s ongoing fight against militant groups. Most are wounded by blasts from improvised explosive devices or IEDs.

“I was part of FC, you know, the Frontier Corps [paramilitary force] convoy when a roadside IED planted in a vehicle exploded. I lost both my legs and received multiple injuries all around my body,” said Ullah.

After recovering from major surgeries at Rawalpindi’s Armed Forces Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine (AFIRM), Aman Ullah and several colleagues are now hoping to take part in the next Paralympics.
