The Glory Corps (Arabic: فيلق المجد, romanized: Faylaq al-Majd) is a Turkish-backed rebel group that operates under the Syrian National Army's 3rd Legion during the Syrian Civil War. Formed in 2017, the group works closely with the Levant Front, the main faction in the 3rd Legion,[1] and included fighters that defected from the Sham Legion. The Glory Corps fought against Syrian government forces,[6] and participated in the Turkish-led Operation Olive Branch against the People's Protection Units (YPG)-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the Afrin Region in 2018.[2] It was targeted by a YPG insurgency in the aftermath of the offensive, when it became based in Afrin.[7]
