Military Promotion

After receiving his commission Naqvi rose quickly through the ranks. He became a major only five years after passing out from the Military Academy. As a major he held a number of posts, the most notable being the brigade major of an infantry brigade, even though he was a part of the artillery corps. Later, he graduated from the highly esteemed Command and Staff College in Quetta.

After this he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel and was transferred to the newly formed Army Air Defence corps.

Army Air Defence Commander

Between 1980–81, Naqvi commanded a Light Air Defence Unit and this unit was the first unit of Air Defence which was inspected by Quaid-e-Azam before being promoted two ranks to become a brigadier. In this position, Naqvi was placed in command of the largest brigade of the Pakistan Army.{{Clarify|date=August 2009}} Later, he commanded a number of air defence brigades, as well as studying at the National Defence University in Islamabad, from where he passed out with honours.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}
