[edit] Graphic of the Army Structure
I'm currently working on a project to create graphics of the structure of the most important Armies. i.e. French Army; German Army; Italian Army I also want to make a graphic of the structure of the Saudi Arabian Army, but the information at this point is not sufficient, as there is no information what units compose the single brigades. Does anyone have this information- down to the Battalion names and/or numbers? Thanks noclador 07:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Saudi Land Forces
Just did some more research on the structure and I kept coming up with the name "Royal Saudi Land Force" to describe the Saudi Army. Anyone have some thoughts on the validity of this, should we move this article to that name? It appears to match the other names for the air force and navy, "Royal Saudi Air Force" and "Royal Saudi Navy." Publicus 13:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- it's also known as (¹"Royal Saudi Land Force" Arabic: القوات البرية الملكية السعودية), but its much more popular with the name (²"Saudi Arabian Army" Arabic: الجيش العربي السعودي ) , i usually see this sign ² on saudi army vehicles and troops jackets . Ammar 13:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MBT 2000
Saudi Arabia evaluated the MBT 2000 in the month of April 2006 to decide, if it would be acquired for the Saudi army. but further information regarding the acquisition of the MBT 2000 can not be found online - neither through google or on janes defence weekly- the follwoing article of Janes Defence Weekly is the last offical document i could find about the possibilty of the acquisition of the MBT 2000: http://www.janes.com/defence/news/jdw/jdw060313_1_n.shtml noclador 20:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
