The Arab Liberation Army, also translated as Arab Salvation Army, is an army of volunteers from Arab countries led by Fawzi al-Qawuqji.

It fights on the Arab side in the 1948 Palestine war and is set up by the Arab League as a counter to the Arab High Committee's Holy War Army, though in fact the League and Arab governments prevent thousands from joining either force.

At the meeting in Damascus on February 5, 1948, to organize Palestinian Field Commands, Northern Palestine including Samaria is allocated to Qawuqji's forces, although Samaria is de facto already under the control of Transjordan.

The target figure for recruitment is 10,000, but by mid-March 1948 the number of volunteers to have joined the Army reaches around 6,000 and does not increase much beyond this figure.

The actual number deployed might have been as low as 3,500, according to General Safwat.

Its ranks include mainly Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians and Druzes and a few hundreds of Iraqis, Transjordanians, Muslim Brothers from Egypt and Circassians.
