Up until the early 1990s, most of the field units of the armed forces were stationed in the 2nd and the 3rd Military Regions.[2] The 8th Armoured Division is based at Ras El Ma, 90 kilometres from Sidi Bel Abbes,[3] in the 2nd Military Region.

Previous commanders have included Chadli Bendjedid (1964–78)[4] and Kamal Abderrahim. While commanding the region, Benjedid supervised the withdrawal of French forces from Mers el Kebir in accordance with the Evian Accords.
