This is what happens when military rule is in effect. The government of the day and its functionaries don't hold the office, a military administration takes over. Once the PML-Q construct came into picture, the number of military officers being deputed also receded.

This was all before Pakistan's nuclear/missile program became weaponized. It required military to run it given the security/confidentiality needed for the program. The staff still remained primarily civilian.

Everything has some context. For large government organizations, another counter point was that we needed people with experience. That came by way of officers who had lead large formations comprising thousands of personnel, spread across large areas, with complex management and logistical needs in highly stressed environments.

Some performed well, others didn't. Civilian side, despite the chagrin, did not have that experience on hand.

It was a response to "Do you think civilians founded SUPARCO..". I have no issue with who is on top if an organisation is working well but fairly.
