The 22nd Division was one of the divisions of the Spanish Republican Army that were organized during the Spanish Civil War on the basis of the Mixed Brigades. It came to operate on the Andalusian and Levante fronts.
The unit was created on April 3, 1937, within the Army of the South. The 22nd Division was born from the militarization of the old Granada sector. The unit, made up of 51st, 78th and 93rd mixed brigades, was initially under the command of Antonio Gómez de Salazar and, later, Urbano Orad de la Torre. As of June 1937, the division was integrated into the IX Army Corps, on the Andalusian front.
In the spring of 1938 the division was sent as reinforcement to the Levante front, being added to the XXI Army Corps. The division was later assigned to the XXIII Army Corps, where it remained until the end of the war.
