The chief Egyptian archaeologist, Dr. Magdy Shaker writes, "The Army of Egypt"
The Egyptian army was never an army that invaded it, but when the matter turns to underestimating the state and the ruler, the aggressor loses his death in his own home.
It is the oldest regular army in history, started by Mina from 3200 BC and continued in defense of the borders of Egypt, which is the only country in the world whose borders have not and will not change thanks to God first since its emergence and until now, and that the ruler and the army were conservative for that and his belief changed from defense to attack after the experience of the invasion of the Hyksos So the army and the ruler realized that securing its borders starts from outside its borders, so Seknen Ra and Kames fought a war against the Hyksos until Ahmose I was able to expel them and kept pursuing them until the fortress of Sharuhin in Palestine and all the rulers of Egypt remained so until Thutmose III took power.
King Kadesh said, "We will not be able to invade Egypt except under the rule of this young young man, Thutmose III."
He did not know that this king had a policy different from his predecessors, which is the best defense, which is attack
When we wanted to protect Egypt's borders from an external threat, we created the borders represented by an empire to protect it.
In the north, Egyptian forts and garrisons were built along the Mediterranean coast in the areas of Palestine, Syria and the highlands.
In the south, Thutmose III expanded Egypt's borders and control as far as Nabata, next to Mount Barkal (about 400 km north of present-day Khartoum)
Our borders have always been and remain a red line
On the land of Egypt, for the first time in the history of the entire ancient world, the idea of the strategic use of the armed forces appeared, on the basis of dividing the fighting armies into independent brigades and wings in their own right, but in the end they operate under a unified central command, and this tremendous war development took place at the hands of the early pharaohs. The kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty and during the modern state, the Egyptians began to implement war and strategic ideas. The strategic maneuvers that the Egyptian teams and armies were conducting played a decisive role in winning the battles in the fields of war and fighting. The Pharaoh was the supreme commander of the Egyptian army during the era of the modern state, and he personally led the major and important war campaigns and battles, while the smaller or less important war campaigns could be entrusted to one of the most senior military leaders. The minister held the position of Minister of War and held the title of "Assistant Ruler". On the battlefields, the Egyptian pharaohs of the warriors used the War Council, which consisted of the top military commanders of the Egyptian army.
The main unit in the Egyptian army was formed during the era of the modern state of secrecy, which was divided into factions, then into groups, and the group consisted of ten individuals, and its leader received his orders from the platoon commander, who is known as the commander of the fifty, and the army was during the battle or during the major war campaigns To a number of divisions or legions, where each legion was a complete military force consisting of chariots "war chariots" and infantry forces, and the legion's strength reached about five thousand fighters, and in the famous Battle of Kadesh "1274 BC" in the fifth year of the reign The pharaoh "Ramses II", the leaders of these divisions or legions were most of the royal princes or major corps or legions bearing the names of the great Egyptian gods.
The Egyptian army in the era of the modern state consisted of two main divisions, namely, infantry and war vehicles, and the infantry was the mainstay of the army because its soldiers were the ones who occupy open lands and reside in forts to guard the roads leading to the homeland, which lead to the forces ’positions, secondly, the armament of vehicles. Egypt Horses are a tool of war. Horse-drawn war chariots have been used since the reign of King Kamis, and the reign of King Ahmose the First, who liberated Egypt from the Hyksos
Thus the Egyptian army remained throughout its ages, preserving its borders, realizing that its external borders preserve its internal borders, may God protect Egypt, its people and its army
