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. He is also chief of staff of the army. 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.[1] From the Chief of Staff's office are directed four military regions, and the Unified Command East of the Canal, which in turn directs the two field armies.
