From open sources it seems that 4 Pakistani army divisions are involved in the operation, with a single corps HQ coordinating their efforts.They appear to be two regular and two heavy infantry divisions [http://www.pakintel.com/page/3/] Frontier Corps operates under a separate command, but its units are often parceled out to the Army. The Corps in the region, the XI Corps, usually has 2 infantry divisions, it has received from what can be gleaned from open sources two additional divisions, one from Multan; the 14th, and another from Kashmir; the 23rd.
