Ahmad Al Tammer (Arabic: أحمد التمر, also rendered as Ahmed al-Tamer) is a Syrian official serving as the commander of the Desert Security Forces since September 2025. Previously a captain in the Free Syrian Army-affiliated Forces of Martyr Ahmad al-Abdo, al-Tamer has played a key role in anti-ISIS operations in the Syrian desert. Following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, he was integrated into the new Syrian government's security apparatus under the Ministry of Interior.
