    Jordan Armed Forces Train on Modern Weapons

    The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan continues to modernize its Armed Forces and equipment, and to train personnel to raise capabilities and readiness, as the country faces several challenges, the most daunting of which are violence and drug smuggling on the northern border with Syria and eastern border with Iraq.

    Attended by His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein and a number of senior officers, exercise Resolute Response was conducted by Al Yarmouk Mechanized Brigade, one of the Jordanian Northern Command units, in September 2023.

    The exercise began by launching a drone, Schiebel Camcopter S-100, to surveil simulated enemy forces advancing towards northern Jordan. At an altitude of 14,000 feet, the drone continued throughout the exercise to surveil developments on the ground and transmit intelligence to the command center. 

    Then the Royal Jordanian Air Force Falcons, flying F-16 fighter jets, swooped on the enemy targets, followed by helicopters firing Hellfire missiles. Then came a concentrated artillery bombardment. Combat drones, each carrying four missiles, took part in the air attack. 

    In the final phase, the ground attack began with three forces: two in the front, leading the attack, and one in the rear, engaging targets in depth. Tanks and armored carriers roared in the desert, racing toward enemy forces. Once they arrived at the enemy staging area, they opened a gap in the barbed wire installed by the enemy and engaged in a fierce fight. 

    The Jordan Armed Forces Psychological and Information Operations Cell broadcast messages throughout the battle to reassure citizens and boost the morale of Yarmouk Brigade fighters as they engaged the enemy.

    Brig. Gen. Mahmoud Al-Sawair, deputy chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Operations and Training, delivered a speech at the event, highlighting the strategic vision of the Jordanian Armed Forces.

    “The strategic vision of the Jordan Armed Forces included specific goals with precise standards according to essential principles aimed at enhancing and sustaining development and progress. So the Jordan Armed Forces are up to the challenge and threats posed to the security of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,” he said.

    Brig. Gen. Hassan Abdel Hamid Abu Rumman, commander of the Northern Command, praised the training his men received that allowed them to keep up with modern trends
    in warfighting.

    “Despite the technological and modern tactical developments that have affected the characteristics of war, what we witness in modern wars confirms clearly that the ground forces are still the main element in determining the outcome of any battle,” he said.
