 Baybars instituted uniformity within the army and put an end to the previous improvised nature of the various Ayyubid military forces of Egypt and Syria.To bring further uniformity to the military, Baybars and Qalawun standardized the undefined Ayyubid policies regarding the distribution of "iqtaʿat" to emirs.The reformation of "iqtaʿ" distribution created a clear link between an emir's rank and the size of his "iqtaʿ".
