The Albanian National Liberation Army (abbreviated ANLA) was the army of the Albanian National Liberation Movement. It was organized on 4 July 1943, during the increasing presence of Nazi troops in Albania. The ANLA disbanded following the establishment of the People's Republic of Albania on 11 January 1946 and the creation of the Albanian People's Army.

Origins
Prior to the establishment of the ANLA, the Albanian National Liberation Movement utilized loosely organized partisan units operating with guerilla tactics. In advance of the first conference of the Communist Party of Albania in 1943, Communist Party of Yugoslavia leader Josip Broz Tito sent a letter outlining, among other things, the importance of a unified army for Albania's communist party. On 4 July 1943, during the party conference in Labinot, Albania, the General Council of the National Liberation Movement voted in favor of the creation of a centralized army to lead the liberation effort. This army was heavily modeled off of the National Liberation Army of Yugoslavia. The Council named Enver Hoxha as the commander-in-chief of the ANLA. On 10 July, the General Council formed a General Staff of the National Liberation Army, which it tasked it with organizing the ANLA. This came at the insistence of Svetozar Vukmanović, the head of Tito's forces in Macedonia, who was a guest at the party conference.

Early Organization
Immediately upon creation on 10 July 1943, the General Staff organized its units and the territories under its control as the "1st Operative Zone." Early efforts to organize an army focused on the formation of brigades, which would be the largest military formation of the regular army.

On 15 August 1943, the General Staff organized the "1st Storm Brigade" under the leadership of Mehmet Shehu. The dedication took place in a field outside of Vithkuq. Koçi Xoxe was present as a representative of the General Staff. Dušan Mugoša was appointed the unit's political commissar. Around 800 partisans took place in the inauguration, organized into four battalions carrying small arms, heavy machine guns, and mortars supplied by the United Kingdom. This unit was also referred to as the "1st Shock Brigade."

Two additional shock battalions would be formed... The ANLA's General Staff was assisted by British officers, which led to conflicts and paranoia regarding security.

Arms and armaments for the ANLA came mostly from raids of enemy supply depots, but also from supply drops from the Allied Powers. These raids also provided a portion of the food and clothing used by the army, supplemented by what could be taken from the villages in ANLA-controlled areas. While Tito provided military advisors to the ANLA, the Yugoslav communist liberation movement did not supply its Albanian counterpart with any war material, nor did the USSR. Unable to form an officer training school, the ANLA selected leaders who had proven fighting ability in previous battles.

Operations
Albania had been occupied by Italy since 7 April 1939, and had operated as an Italian puppet following the ratification of a new constitution on 3 June 1939. Starting in April 1943, Nazi Germany began increasing its presence in Albania. By mid-August, six thousand Nazi troops in Albania. The formal Nazi occupation of Albania started on 9 September 1943, after the capitulation of Italy.

The National Liberation Movement declared Albania liberated on 29 November 1944. Hoxha then order the 5th and 6th Divisions to advance into Yugoslav territory in pursuit of German troops.

On 28 November 1994, during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Albania's liberation from Axis control, flags from ALNA brigades were flown at the front of the military parade, followed by partisan veterans.

The ANLA liberated a series of Albanian cities from August to November 1944. On 28 August, Konispol was liberated. On 15 October, Vlorë was liberated. On 24 October, Korçë was liberated. On 11 November, Elbasan was liberated. On 28 November, Tirana was liberated. On 29 November, Shkodër was liberated.

Relations with Other Organizations
Early operations of the ANLA were directed towards the Balli Kombëtar as well as foreign occupying forces. The partisans viewed the Balli Kombëtar as a group of intellectuals, clerics, and failed politicians.

In the summer of 1944, the ANLA briefly targeted the Legality Movement.
