Arab Union Army

The Palestinian Army (Arabic: الجيش الفلسطيني al-jaysh al-falasṭīnī) is the regular ground force of the Republic of Palestine, one of three services of the Palestinian Armed Forces. It was founded in 1947 as the All-Palestine Army, its current form dating from 1967.

The Army is by far the largest service of the armed forces in terms of manpower, and also commands the largest reserve force in the nation, whose personnel may be deployed on active duty during wartime. Due to Palestine's ongoing experience with several layers of insurgency lasting over half a century, the Palestinian Army is one of the most battle-tested modern Arab armies. It is headquartered at Khan el-Ahmar Joint Operations Base, located in Jabal el-Baba County east of Jerusalem. Field Marshal Abdul Rahman Khan has been Chief of Staff of the Army since 2009.
