Lieutenant General Shahid Imtiaz a three-star general in the Pakistan Army and is currently serving as the is the current Commander X Corps in Rawalpindi.

Shahid is a member of the Azad Kashmir Regiment and completed the 22nd Officers Training School (OTS) course.[1] In February 2017, he was promoted to the rank of Major General.[2]

In March 2021, President of Pakistan Arif Alvi awarded him the Hilal-i-Imtiaz.[3]

In October 2022, he was elevated to the rank of lieutenant general during his tenure as Commandant of the School of Infantry and Tactics in Quetta.[4]

Following Asim Munir's appointment as 11th Chief of the Army Staff in November 2022, Imtiaz was brought in to lead X Corps. Imtiaz was regarded as Munir's "trusted and favorite" from the OTS.[1] He officially took command of X Corps later that same December.[5]

In September 2023, there was speculation that Imtiaz would be appointed as the Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence (DG ISI); however, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) denied these reports, labeling them as baseless.[6]
