Austrian Media: New Army Shapes Syria
The article discusses the efforts to rebuild the Syrian army during President Ahmed al-Shir's era, focusing on how much the military institution has developed and its potential success as a disciplined, professional, and national institution. The analysis highlights the rehabilitation of airbases, the expansion of military cooperation with external partners, and the graduation of new batches of armed forces, while raising questions about Damascus's ability to integrate former factions into a unified army that adheres to national policies and laws. The article also examines challenges such as the persistence of outdated ideologies within the institution, the violations witnessed in the coastal areas and Sweida, and the ongoing debate over the nature of military cooperation with Turkey and Israel, and whether such cooperation aligns with the country's long-term interests. The analysis identifies three key criteria for the success of the new army: the selection of leadership, the quality of organizational culture and discipline, and the future strategic orientation—focusing on protecting minorities, subordination to civilian authority, weapons control, and countering extremist groups. Ultimately, it emphasizes that the army's strength will only threaten the region or Israel if it transforms into a professional force that genuinely reflects a state with effective institutions, rather than merely a collection of old factions without significant ideological or behavioral change.
