As British arms sold to the Jordanian military arrives, they are quickly distributed amongst its soldiers. A recruitment drive of Jordanians (as well as Palestinians, albeit not legally differentiated) aimed at increasing the armed forces to 80,000 as desired by both Jordan and Britain. They are trained with the Enfield Mk.1 rifles along with the Bren light machine guns and Sterling/Patchett machine carbines. A basic core of pilots are also to be trained in the aircraft at the Hatzor airbase.
There already exists a group of the Arab Legion who are practiced with armored cars, mobile troop transports, and tanks and shall be used to continue to train more to take their positions as well and expand the core. All of these aforementioned groups are trained by the existing Jordanian military staff, many of which are British including the supreme commander, Glubb Pasha, as well as actual British officers who are provided by Britain. All training outside of the airforce will take place in Jordan proper, with desert training taking place in the south near Wadi Rum as well as hill and mountain training up north near Ajloun and Rahaba.
