History: |

The Lower Egyptian army was the terrestrial army and naval (if they existed) military forces of the Kingdom of Lower Egypt. Largely composed of a (very likely) small army, the Lower Egyptian Army could have possessed a naval component, although it is unknown if it truly existed, as Lower Egypt did not have imperial ambitions, and therefore no need for a naval presence. Given the structure of the earlier Egyptian armies that succeeded it, it's likely the Lower Egyptian army had conscription but no standing army. Ultimately, little to no information exists on the composition of this army.
