The Desert Security Forces (Arabic: قوات الأمن البادية, romanized: qūwāt al-amn al-bādiyah) are a security force under the Syrian Ministry of Interior operating in the central desert region known as the Badiya. Formed in late 2024 following the fall of the Assad regime, the forces are tasked with countering remnants of the Islamic State (ISIS) and securing vast arid areas prone to insurgent activity. They coordinate with international partners, including the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS.
