Established in the mid-20th century, it is primarily tasked with defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria, maintaining internal order, and supporting the regime of the Syrian government.
The Syrian Military has been a prominent actor in the ongoing Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, participating in various conflicts against opposition groups and other factions.
