Urus-Martanovsky Jamaat (Russian: Урус-Мартановский джамаат) was the largest Chechen Salafist paramilitary organization formed by Ramzan Akhmadov at the end of the First Chechen War. The organization controlled the Urus-Martanovsky District and attempted to establish an Islamic state with a Sharia form of government throughout Chechnya. During the Second Chechen War this organisation was the strongest military force in Chechnya, which took part in major military actions against the Russian Armed Forces. Most of the members of this organization were representatives of the Ghendarganoy teip.
