Structure of the Egyptian Army

The structure of the Egyptian Army depicted below focuses on operational organisation.

Under the Ministry of Defense is the Military Operations Authority with its headquarters in Cairo.

The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces's office is in Cairo.

Formally, he is also chief of staff of the air force and navy as well, but apparently the commanders of the other two services frequently report directly to the Minister of Defense/Commander-in-Chief.

An Egyptian Army Division organization may differ between Armored and Infantry.
