The Armed Forces of the United Arab Republic (Arabic: القوات المسلحة للجمهورية العربية المتحدة) was the official designation of the military of the United Arab Republic, a union made up of the territories of Egypt and Syria. After the union was announced on 22 February 1958, the Syrian Army was called the First Army,[1] and the Egyptian Army was named the Second Army. It was dissolved after Syria withdrew from the union after a coup d'état took place on 28 September 1961. However, Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser continued using the designation.
