Jaysh al-Salam (Arabic: جيش السلام, lit. 'Army of Peace') was an operations room of Free Syrian Army factions that operates in northern and eastern Syria with the goal to attack IS in Raqqa. Components of the group later joined the Syrian Democratic Forces throughout 2016.
As of the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, the collation appeared to be defunct. It was superseded by various other groups and military councils within the SDF.
The Jihad in the Path of God Brigade (Arabic: لواء الجهاد في سبيل الله, translit. Liwa al-Jihad fi Sabeel Allah) is a rebel group that operated in eastern Aleppo Governorate. It is currently fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in eastern Aleppo province. The group acknowledges the Syrian opposition-in-exile government the Syrian National Council and the Supreme Military Council. The Jihad in the Path of God Brigade was a founding member group of the Euphrates Volcano operations room formed in September 2014.
The group was later renamed as Liwa Ahrar al-Raqqa (Arabic: لواء أحرار الرقة, translit. Free Raqqa Brigade), which then joined the Syrian Democratic Forces in March 2016.
