The Green Battalion (Arabic: الكتيبة الخضراء, al-Katiba al-Khadra) was a jihadist group that was active during the Syrian Civil War.[10] Formed in 2013 by a group of Saudi veterans of the Iraq War and Afghanistan war,[4] the group fought alongside Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) against Syrian government forces, while remaining independent and neutral in the dispute between ISIL and other groups.[4] The group announced on 25 July 2014 that it became part of Jabhat Ansar al-Din.[6] The group claimed allegiance to Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar around October 2014.[3]
