The Pakistan Army is a professional army, able to hold its own in the environment that it operates in. Pakistan faces a serious threat from India. Given the structure and training of the armed forces, it is adequate to blunt any major Indian threat against the country conventionally. The Army maintains a healthy ratio of manpower and a decent balance in between its fighting and support elements (aka tooth to tail ratio).
Over the past ten years, the Army has invested heavily in training all of its units in the infantry as well as other fighting arms to be able to conduct COIN ops and has implemented in a very significant manner the ability to conduct operations in a network centric mode by incorporating "jointness" in its operations specifically with the Pakistan Air Force.
Historically, all of the wars with India, with the exception of 1971 where Pakistan lost its eastern wing (a territory which became Bangladesh and was separated from the mainland West Pakistan by virtue of the Indian land mass in-between), have been stalemates, which given Pakistan's smaller size and lesser resources is an indication that the Armed Forces of Pakistan can hold their own even against a numerically superior Indian force. With the operationalization of nuclear weapons by the three military services, Pakistani deterrence against India across the conventional and nuclear spectrum has been strengthened.
Pakistani training schools and instructors are renowned the world over. Training for foreign officer cadets, special forces, engineering cadres as well as pilots is conducted by the Pakistani military across multiple stages starting from very basic to graduate level courses being offered in "special to arms/service" schools and National Defence University respectively.
In terms of modernization, Pakistan is currently in the middle of implementing the Armed Forced Development Plan 2015 which would ensure adequate capabilities are introduced into all three services through a process of rationalization, standardization and scale.
The military is highly regarded by the Pakistani nation. Given its a professional force, selection and induction into the service is highly coveted and draws a huge pool of applicants, of which only the best are selected and sent to the military academies.
Outside observers view Pakistani military as a competent fighting force with well trained and motivated officer corps and ranks. During foreign courses and joint exercises, Pakistani officers have traditionally done well. The Army is retooling itself to be able to conduct low intensity operations as well as being trained to handle large force engagements.
