Maclean became the first post-independent Zimbabwe military commander when he was appointed Commander ZDF on August 8, 1981, by the then Prime Minister Robert Mugabe.

He retired from his role less than a year later, on July 31, 1982, and was replaced by the late General Solomon Mujuru from August 1, 1982.
