Timeline

1919

Abdul Munim Riad (عبد المنعم رياض 22 October 1919 – 9 March 1969) was a general and Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces.

Riad was born on 22 October 1919, in Tanta, a city in the Nile Delta.

His father, Mohammed Riad, was an instructor at the Royal Military Academy and a lieutenant colonel in the Egyptian military.

1928

In 1928, Mohammed was stationed in el-Arish in the Sinai Peninsula, which allowed Riad to become familiar with the arid and mountainous landscape of the region.

During this period of his childhood, Riad observed his father's military activities, played with Bedouin children in the area, and, according to Egyptian military historian Mohammed al-Jawady, gained experience as a scout.

1930

Riad's family moved to the port city of Alexandria in 1930 following his father's promotion to colonel and subsequent assignment as commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion.

1936

Riad completed his secondary education in the city, graduating in 1936, and began attending the fall semester of Qasr el-Aini Medical School in Cairo.

While there, he participated in student-led protests calling for an end to British colonial influence in the country.

Later that year, the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty was signed, mandating the opening of Egypt's military academies to individuals from all walks of life.

Riad pursued his original interest by entering the Royal Military Academy on 6 October, despite his mother's opposition to a military career.

At the academy, he met his fellow cadets, including Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat, Saad El-Shazly, and Ahmad Ismail Ali.

Al-Jawady reports that Riad possessed a strong personality, demonstrated a thorough understanding of the curriculum, and remained determined to improve his mental and physical abilities in military matters.

1938

In 1938, Munim graduated with honors, specializing in anti-aircraft weapons.

The dean, Colonel Futuh Bey, described Riad as an exemplary student who always did his best and could be relied upon.

Riad, then a second lieutenant, joined the newly established air defense unit in Zamalek under the command of a British captain.

During this time, he gained a greater understanding of ballistics, different types of anti-aircraft weapons, the principles of trajectory, arithmetic calculations for hitting airborne objects, and the English language.

1939

When World War II began in late 1939, many Egyptian officers were sent to the front.

Among them was Riad, who had been promoted to first lieutenant and was in charge of anti-aircraft gun crews in Alexandria.

He worked as an instructor and trainer at the Abbasia Barracks Artillery School in Cairo.

He often transported his graduates to the Alexandria front and led them as their commanding officer.

Riad's exemplary wartime performance earned him the admiration of his senior commanders and recognition as one of the few selected to attend the General Staff College in Cairo.

1944

He received a Master's Degree in Military Science in 1944 and was subsequently assigned to Abbasia as a permanent anti-aircraft instructor.

1960

In 1960, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Artillery Corps.

1961

In 1961, he assumed the role of Vice President of the Operations Division under the Chairman of the War Staff and Advisor to the Air Force Command for Air Defense.

1962

Between 1962 and 1963, as a Major General, he attended a special session at the School of Anti-Aircraft Missile Artillery.

1964

In 1964, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Consolidated Arab Command.

1966

In 1966, he was promoted to Lieutenant General and received his scholarship at the Higher War College of the Nasser Higher Military Academy.

He was the recipient of numerous medals and awards, including the Long Service Medal, the Order of Merit, the Order of the Golden Degree of National Rice, and the Order of the Star of Honor.

He also received the Good Example Medal as a Lebanese Senior Officer and the Jordan Globe Medallion First Class.

1967

He commanded the Jordanian Armed Forces during the 1967 Six-Day War and later led the Egyptian forces in the War of Attrition.

In May 1967, Lt. General Riad was appointed commander of the Advanced Command Center in Amman after Hussein of Jordan traveled to Cairo to sign the Joint Defense Group.

In addition, when the 1967 war broke out, Riad was selected to command the front in Jordan.

On 11 June of the same year, he was elected Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and worked with the Egyptian Minister of War and Commander of the Armed Forces, Mohamed Fawzi, to rebuild and organize the army.

In addition, Riad oversaw the destruction of the Israeli destroyer Eilat on 21 October 1967.

1968

In 1968, Riad was appointed Assistant Secretary General of the League of Arab States.

During the War of Attrition, General Riad led the Egyptian forces to several victories.

One such battle prevented Israeli forces from gaining control of the Egyptian city of Port Fuad, located on the Suez Canal.

This success was due to a small infantry force that effectively defended the city.

1969

Riad and several of his aides were killed during the war in 1969.

This day is observed as Egyptian Martyr's Day (يوم الشهيد).
