The Jaysh al-Ummah (Arabic: جيش الأمة; lit. Army of the Ummah[8]) was a coalition of 20 small rebel groups active during the Syrian Civil War.[1] The group operated in Damascus and Rif Dimashq Governorate.[7] It was disbanded on 9 March 2015, after it was defeated by Jaysh al-Islam[9] and its remaining fighters defected to the Syrian government forces in Eastern Ghouta.[4]
