On the occasion, political figures – local and international – expressed their support for the efforts to unify the Libyan military institution.

The establishment of the Libyan army was announced on August 9, 1940, by the Libyan resistance forces that migrated to Egypt in the Giza region, to escort British forces in their fight against the Italians..

The army was restructured after Libya’s independence in 1951.
