Structure and Objectives
- See also: Current Command Structure of the Jordanian Armed Forces
The army's organisational structure was traditionally based on two armoured divisions and two mechanised divisions. These have been transformed into a lighter, more mobile forces, based largely on a brigade structure and considered better capable of rapid reaction in emergencies. An armoured division has become the core element of a strategic reserve.
The main objectives of the Jordanian Armed Forces are:
-
- Protect the Kingdom of Jordan borders from any invasion.
- Protect the people inside the Kingdom and their rights.
- Protect the King of Jordan.

Not to a true, but painted chair?”

“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
