During the 2011 Libyan Civil War, the NLA combated against pro-Gaddafi forces made up of the Libyan Armed Forces and paramilitary forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. Members of the National Liberation Army include defected military soldiers and civilian volunteers. Benghazi, Misrata, Brega, Ajdabiya, Az Zawiyah, Ras Lanuf, and Tripoli are major cities that have fallen under NLA control. Despite the collapse of the Gaddafi regime, the Army is still at war against sporadic groups of pro-Gaddafi soldiers. Both men and women served together to overthrow the Gaddafi regime alongside native tribes who were mistreated under the dictator's rule; the largest tribe that is serving in the National Liberation Army is the Berber tribe. The equipment used by the Army include Libyan Armed Forces weaponry and military camouflage provided by Qatar. Other suppliers include the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, France, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
