Amman, May 18 (Petra) — The Rapid Intervention Battalion/Commandos
61, a unit of the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Rapid
Intervention Brigade, on Monday conducted a joint military exercise
with British forces, the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) reported.

The brigade commander and the assistant commander of the British
Joint Task Force in the Middle East attended the drill.

Held at designated training grounds, the exercise featured advanced
field applications in urban warfare and close-quarters combat inside
built-up areas. The tactical maneuvers simulated diverse combat
environments, alongside live-fire drills using various light and
medium weapons. The joint units also deployed unmanned aerial
vehicles (drones) for reconnaissance, surveillance, combat support,
and battlefield command and control.

The military training aimed to elevate combat readiness, enhance
mutual operational planning and execution, and develop rapid-response
capabilities for emergency scenarios to align with the requirements
of modern warfare. Additionally, the drill served to facilitate the
exchange of military expertise and tactical field skills between the
two allied armies.

The defense exercise forms part of the ongoing joint training
programs and strategic frameworks conducted by JAF alongside regional
and international partners. These initiatives are designed to boost
field efficiency, optimize tactical readiness, and consolidate
long-term military partnerships according to the highest professional
standards.
