Tunis marks 70 years of the National Army
Today, Tunisia celebrated the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of its National Army, which was established on June 24, 1956, three months after independence. Its founding aim was to protect the country from remnants of French colonialism and to participate in international peacekeeping efforts. Over more than 60 years, the army has contributed more than 15,000 soldiers to 26 UN missions. The National Army comprises three branches: land, sea, and air, playing a vital role in defending national sovereignty, combating terrorism, securing borders, and contributing to development projects, particularly in desert regions. Additionally, the army helps promote national military industries and develop military vocational training. Today, the celebration includes an exhibition and documentary highlighting its missions and role in supporting the national effort.
