The Mansure Army (Ottoman Turkish: عساكر منصورهء محمديه, Asâkir-i Mansûre-i Muhammediye, "The Victorious Soldiers of Muhammad") was an ocak of the Ottoman army.^[1][2] It was established by Mahmud II^[3], who also disbanded Janissary Corps.

After the Auspicious Incident and the disbandment of the Janissary Corps, Mahmud II established a new military ocak and Agha Hussein Pasha was appointed to the command of the corps. Husrev Pasha served as their serasker.

In 1912, the uniforms of the ocak were changed and finally in 1918, Ottoman army was dissolved.
