The Libyan Army (الجيش الليبي) is the ground force composed of a number of separate regular and irregular military formations in Libya, which were under the command of the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA), now the Government of National Unity (GNU). Since December 2015 the groups of the Libyan Army has been nominally subordinated to the internationally-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) based in Tripoli. 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 structurally divided, with components constituting the Tobruk-based Libyan National Army (LNA) under the command of Khalifa Haftar. The forces loyal to the GNA have been fighting against various other factions in Libya, including the Islamic State. 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.
