Unified Military Command of Eastern Ghouta

Operations room of Syrian rebel factions

The Unified Military Command of Eastern Ghouta (Arabic: الْقِيَادَةُ الْعَسْكَريَّةُ الْمُوَحَّدَةُ فِي الْغُوطَةِ الشَّرْقيَّةِ, romanized: al-Qiyādat al-ʿAskarīyat al-Muwaḥḥadat fī l-Ḡūṭat aš-Šarqīyah) was an operations room of Syrian rebel factions that operated in Eastern Ghouta, Syria.[3]

Quick Facts Leaders, Dates of operation ...

After the death of Zahran Alloush in late 2015, there were conflicts between Jaysh al-Islam and other members of the command, along with associated groups such as Al-Nusra Front and their operations room Jaish Al-Fustat. Ahrar ash-Sham has remained neutral.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

On 24 May 2016, leaders of Jaysh al-Islam & al-Rahman Legion met to sign a peace deal to end hostilities.[11]

Since the death of Zahran Alloush and the appointment of Essam al-Buwaydhani the operations room has become largely defunct.
