See Trigger et al., Ancient Egypt: A Social History (Cambridge, MA: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1983), pp. 170171, for the presence of Medjay troops with the army in the war of liberation. The authors even suggest that several of the well-known soldiers from El-Kab who fought in these wars were of Nubian ancestry because of names used by their families.
