Additionally, the Jordanian Special Forces employs elements in the Air Force, Navy, Air Defence and other Armed Forces units like the 2nd Special Tanks Units etc. With the need for surrounding countries to develop modern forces, Jordan has become a centre of experience and specialized training for special forces.

Famous quotes containing the words joint, special, operations, command and/or structure:
“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Passengers in 1937 totaled 270,000; so many of these were celebrities that two Newark newspapers ran special airport columns.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
