The process of rebuilding the Syrian army after the fall of the Assad regime faces structural and political challenges that hinder the formation of a unified national military institution. The current Syrian military landscape suffers from deep divisions, along with concerns about the ideological identity of the emerging army and its impact on internal cohesion and international stance. Moreover, there is limited representation of Syria’s diverse components within its structure. Therefore, the success of rebuilding the Syrian army depends on its ability to represent the diverse Syrian society and on the presence of international support conditioned by accountability and transparency.
