The Army of the Revolution is a Syrian rebel alliance affiliated with the Southern Front of the Free Syrian Army. It is composed of 4 FSA factions which mainly operated in the Daraa Governorate in southwestern Syria. One of its commanders stated that the group is a "temporary operations room" due to the separation between western and eastern Daraa, and that the "door is open" for other groups to join the alliance.
The Yarmouk Army (Arabic: الجيش اليرموك; transliteration: Jaysh al-Yarmouk), originally known as the Yarmouk Brigade, is a prominent FSA rebel group operating in the Quneitra and Daraa governorates. The group is one of the units that has received BGM-71 TOW missiles. It was led by the defected Syrian Army general Bashar al-Zoubi. It joined the Southern Front on 14 February 2014 and the Hawks of the South coalition on 27 December 2014.
In January 2016, the United Sham Front joined the group.
The Emigrants and Helpers Brigade (Arabic: لواء المهاجرون والأنصار; transliteration: Liwa al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar) was one of the earliest FSA groups formed in the Daraa Governorate. The group is affiliated with the Supreme Military Council and has received TOW and HJ-8 anti-tank missiles. It is one of the members of the Daraa Military Council.
