As Jordanian independence comes to fruition and the basic administrative tasks and the formalities of the Palestinian land is integrated into the country, agencies and other government organizations are formed. First and foremost is an agency to formalize Jordanian intelligence, called the General Intelligence Directorate (GID). While Jordanian intelligence existed under British colonization, it was never formalized and simply was a small community under the King's watchful eye.

A formal agency with a command structure was imperative now to Jordanian interests as Jewish extremists now exist under direct Jordanian authority amongst other issues, such as possible expansionistic neighbors. The agency would be made up mostly of the informal agents working for the King while under British control, but small scale recruitment to size up the agency would be required.
