From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Joint Operations Force (Arabic: قوة العمليات المشتركة), formerly known as the 24th Infantry Battalion,[1] is a large military unit composed of well trained military personnel based in the city of Misrata. It has been known to fight off Islamist extremist groups, such as ISIL and Al-Qaeda, as well as participating operations that intercept human traffickers and fuel smugglers.[2][3] This force commonly advocates for a single unified Libyan military as well as enhancing the security and stability of the country and protecting national sovereignty.[4]
