Due to the instability in the country in 2011 civil war and the outbreak of a new conflict in 2014, the Libyan ground forces remain highly divided.[1] The forces loyal to the GNA have been fighting against various other factions in Libya, as well as terrorists groups like the Islamic State.[2][3] Some efforts have been made to create a truly national army, but most of the forces under the Tripoli government's command consist of various militia groups, such as the Tripoli Protection Force, and local factions from cities like Misrata and Zintan.[4][5]
