Algerian Armed Forces 1962-1990
The Algerian Armée National Populaire (ANP) came to into existence in 1962 after the independence movement was a success against France. The Algerian nation supported a number of liberation movements in Africa during the 70s and 80s and was a major contributor to the OAU (Organisation of African Unity) and sent advisors and money to support the rebel movements all over Africa. The government also openly supported terrorist organisations such as the PLF, PIJ and PLO up until 1990s. The government also sent troops and equipment to support Arab countries during the 67 and 73 Arab Israeli wars.
My Army lists only commence after the independence of Algeria. Tactical doctrine is based on the soviet model.
