New promotions list
[edit]The new promotions list is visible via https://x.com/azelin/status/1873401988052091047. It lists two major-generals (Murhaf Abu Qasra and the new defence minister); five brigadier-generals; and 42 colonels. 03:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
On 29 December 2024, Ahmed al-Sharaa announced the promotion of 42 individuals to the rank of Colonel, 5 to the rank of Brigadier General, and 2 to the rank of Major-General in the Syrian Army. This number included Defense Minister Abu Qasra and new Chief of the General Staff of the Syrian Armed Forces and Army Ali Noureddine Al-Naasan, who were both elevated to the rank of Major-General.[1][2]
There are a number of foreign-sounding names on the list, including Uygurs. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- From Twitter: https://x.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/1874171880619597882:- comment "Jamil Saleh, commander of Jaish Izza, has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the new Syrian Army. Defected #SAA Officer, his group was based in the N. #Hama countryside and never gave up the fight against Assad's Regime despite being uprooted mid-2019." Remember, this is one random guy on the net writing here. Buckshot06 (talk) 03:20, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree we should make a new article
[edit]I feel like it would be better to make a new article like the same thing of this article but a different one it would be way better so ye Bobjohn500 (talk) 17:57, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Flag and logo
[edit]@Freedoxm, Abo Yemen, RamiPat, SkoraPobeda, and Buckshot06: did you know if a separate flag is used by new Syrian troops? Panam2014 (talk) 22:54, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- If someone could made the flag of the Division 42 of Special Forces. Panam2014 (talk) 23:42, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Very late answer from me. I have no idea - I don't generally scan data that includes flags and logos. Compliments of the season!! Buckshot06 (talk) 12:22, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
84th Division
[edit]Dear @PawWiki2, by this edit, you added the 84th Division, made up significantly of foreign fighters. Would you kindly please indicate your source? - doesn't matter if it's Arabic language Facebook, Twitter, Telegram etc, we need to know where it came from. Kind regards and best wishes Buckshot06 (talk) 12:24, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- Many thanks. Buckshot06 (talk) 11:41, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
Redlinks
[edit]Dear Marxsafe, I have reverted your edit to keep the redlinks. Redlinks make sure that people think about writing articles for these entities - the encyclopedia needs entries on these things!!
I have no particular problem with your change to the spelling - should probably be at most common form - but keep the redlinks!! Buckshot06 (talk) 08:08, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
