Egypt Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies

During Egypt’s modern history, Israel has been the country’s most important adversary. Egypt has been engaged in four wars against Israel before and finally signed a US-sponsored peace treaty with Tel Aviv, which was considered the first step towards the transformation of Egypt’s military doctrine.

During the last decade, rising regional unrest, coupled with the ongoing conflict with neighboring countries, has compelled Egypt to make radical changes to its naval and air defense capabilities and strategies. In spite of numerous training programs and exercises over the years, conducted both in Egypt and the US, Egyptian doctrine and organization have, until recently, remained largely focused on large-scale conventional operations.
