Dhamial Army Airbase (ICAO: OPQS) is a Pakistan Army airbase located near Bangash House in southern Rawalpindi, Pakistan. It is the headquarters of Pakistan Army Aviation. It is commonly referred as Dhamial Camp or Qasim Base.
It was built a few kilometers outside Rawalpindi city, but due to the expansion of the city, it is now surrounded by major colonies, including Askari IIIX.
