Project profile — Procurement of rain gear and defensive stores to Jordanian armed forces

This project aims to strengthen the Jordanian armed forces (JAF) boarder security capacity along the Jordan-Syria frontier. It does so by providing high-quality rain gear and defensive stores to the JAF and the Border guard command. Project activities include: (1) providing wet-weather clothing system to improve the JAF Quick reaction force (QRF) quality of life; (2) instructing the JAF QRF on internal policies and procedures to ensure effective use, longevity, and sustainability of the wet-weather clothing system; (3) providing defensive stores to the JAF and their Border guard forces; and (4) providing counter-improvised explosive device and explosive ordnance disposal training to JAF personnel.

The expected outcome of this project includes improved operational effectiveness of JAF, QRF, and their Border guard forces along the Jordan-Syria border across the full spectrum of operations.

Results achieved as of February 2020 include: (1) increased access to wet-weather gear by Jordanian armed forces and Quick reaction force personnel in Jordan; and (2) increased access to defensive stores by the Border guard forces.
