During his final year of secondary education, which was then referred to as the "Tawjihi" examination, he pursued the mathematics stream and achieved high marks.
Upon his return from the Soviet Union following the completion of his staff course, he was promoted to the rank of major and obtained a Master's degree in Military Sciences in 1968.
[8] During this period, he oversaw the rebuilding of Egyptian Armed Forces and implemented a continuous training program to compensate for the significant losses caused by the war.
In 1978, he was awarded a fellowship from the Nasser Higher Military Academy, which enabled him to travel to United States in 1981 to pursue further studies.
In this capacity, he devised strategic blueprints that were subsequently presented to the army commanders, thereby establishing the foundation for the October War.
He was subsequently appointed to the Operations Authority in the Planning Branch, which was headed by Major General Mohamed Abdel Ghani el-Gamasy.
He also organized monthly training plans and worked with the Third Army to coordinate tasks in the Fayed area before presenting them to the Minister of War in Cairo.
His exceptional skills and dedication were so appreciated by his superiors that his appointment as a battalion commander was delayed until 1970 when he was promoted to the rank of colonel.
[11] After the War of Attrition, Abdel Moneim Saeed was appointed as a battalion commander and later selected as a planning officer in the Operations Directorate of the Egyptian Armed Forces.
At 1:00 PM, President Anwar Sadat entered the operations center in the main room to oversee the movements of the army branches and all of their leaders.
The largest of the room's four corners was occupied by a substantial table at which President Anwar Sadat, Field Marshal Ahmad Ismail, the Minister of Defense and General Commander, and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Saad el-Shazly were seated, along with the liaison officer responsible for coordinating with Syria during the war.
Abdel Moneim Saeed, along with two other officers holding the rank of lieutenant colonel, was tasked with drafting the orders to be issued by the minister.
In front of them was a large map displaying the war plan, with another table situated nearby where the colonel-ranked officers were seated.
Abdel Moneim Saeed was one of these officers, responsible for overseeing the implementation of the plan, working in shifts to ensure continuous monitoring.
The role of this branch included monitoring operations and ensuring the implementation of the planned strategy, modifying it by any emerging variables.
[15] He held the position of governor in numerous provinces, exemplifying the values espoused by the Armed Forces and displaying leadership in a variety of roles.
Upon his return to Egypt, he served as the Head of the Planning Branch in 1975 and was subsequently appointed Commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Division.
The following year, he assumed the role of Head of the Planning Branch of the Operations Authority and, in 1984, that of Chief of Staff of the Western Region.
[17] On the morning of Friday, November 5, 2021, Abdel Moneim Saeed, former Chief of the Armed Forces Operations Authority, passed away.
