Military career
[edit]Zaman was formally commissioned into the Pakistan Armed Forces in 1980, after graduating from the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) with a Sword of Honour, at which he later also served an instructor at the School of Infantry and Tactics.[1]
He also attended the National Defence University, Pakistan (NDU), Joint Services Command and Staff College, UK (JSCSC) and Royal College of Defence Studies, UK (RCDS).[1]

In September 2014, Zaman was reportedly shortlisted as a candidate by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to succeed Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Director General Zaheer-ul-Islam, who was about to retire. Ultimately Major General (Later Lt. Gen.) Rizwan Akhtar was selected and appointed to the job.[7][8]
