The 118th Division is an armoured division of the Syrian Army established in February 2025 as part of the post-Assad military reorganization, under the Syrian transitional government. Assigned to the Syrian Desert (Badia) region, the division primarily operates in the area around Palmyra and supports security and counter-insurgency operations in eastern Syria. As of March 2025, the 118th Division was deployed to secure eastern sectors, contributing to the new government's efforts to stabilize post-Assad Syria.
