The Revolutionary Commando Army (Arabic: جيش مغاوير الثورة; Jaysh Maghawir al-Thawra), previously called the New Syrian Army (Arabic: جيش سوريا الجديد, Jaysh Suriyah al-Jadid, abbreviated NSA or NSyA), is a Syrian rebel group consisting of Syrian Arab Army defectors and other rebels established during the Syrian Civil War. Founded on 20 May 2015, the group sought to expel the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from eastern Syria. They claimed to have received training and advanced weaponry from the Authenticity and Development Front and the CIA in Jordan. In December 2016, the New Syrian Army dissolved and the remnants of the group formed the Revolutionary Commando Army.
