Jaysh Ahl al-Sunnah wa-l-Jamaah (Arabic: جيش أهل السنة والجماعة, romanized: Army of the Ahlus Sunnah) was an Iraqi Salafi insurgent group that fought against US troops and their local allies during the Iraq War.

In 2006 the group aligned itself with al-Qaeda and helped establish the Mujahideen Shura Council.

[1][2] Following the US invasion of Iraq, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, along with some associates, created Jamaat Jaysh Ahl al-Sunnah wa-l-Jamaah (JJASJ) – the Army of the Sunni People Group – and it operated in Samarra, Diyala, and Baghdad.

[3][4] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi served as head of the group and led it to establish caliphate.

The dissolution of the 'Jaysh Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'a' group occurred after the announcement of the rise of the 'Islamic State of Iraq' just like the rest of the groups of the 'Majlis Shura Mujahideen al-Iraq', and Abu Bakr became one of the fighters under command of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, and he assumed in that time a number of responsibilities among them amirship of the Shari'i committees in the Islamic State.
