Egypt in 1967 had just 1 Armored Division and 5 Infantry Divisions (a second Armored Division was forming, but not fully operational) plus 1 Airborne Brigade and 6 area commands for static defense. NOTE: the 20th Infantry Division was known as the 'Palestinian' and based in Gaza - not re-established after it was destroyed in the 1967 War. The 3rd and 6th Infantry Divisions reported to have been re-established, but did not feature in the 1973 conflict.
