Jaish al-Ta'ifa al-Mansurah (Arabic: جيش الطائفة المنصورة, romanized: Army of the Victorious Sect) was an Iraqi Salafi-jihadist insurgent group that fought against US troops and their local allies during the Iraq War. In 2006 the group aligned itself with al-Qaeda and helped establish the Mujahideen Shura Council.
