During the 1975-76 war the ZKF's strength peaked at about 200-500 male and female fighters who fought in the ranks of the LNM/Joint Forces.

The alliance lasted until mid-1982, when it collapsed together with their LNM rival in the wake of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
However, to say that the LNM was a Muslim organization would be a gross oversimplification.
However, the political collapse of the LNM in the wake of the June 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the subsequent departure of the PLO from Beirut meant that the smaller Nasserist militias (‘6th FM’ included) had to fend for themselves.
