Before 1883, there were nearly twenty Guard and Line Infantry Regiments having their beginning in the creation of the Nizam al-Jadid: New Organization. Around 1832, there was the introduction of standard uniforms and equipment based on the European model. After 188, the Egyptian Army was reorganized, and while it followed changes in the British Army over the same perio, it still retained a distinctive appearance.
