The Canadian military has provided a variety of training over the last year and a half to the Jordanian armed forces. That has included a Canadian-led team which trained Jordanian military personnel in how to co-ordinate air strikes.

“Other training opportunities have been identified, as requested by the JAF, but are still in the planning stages,” Canadian Forces Capt. Vincent Bouchard told Defence Watch.

Equipment has also been donated by Canada, some of which came earlier last year while other gear arrived in late 2017. Bouchard provided details on that below:

“Equipment donations in 2017 consisted of wet weather gear for the JAF Quick Reaction Force (QRF), basic defensive stores to assist the JAF in physically securing their border, portable searchlights enhancing surveillance, command and control at night along the Syrian-Jordanian border and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) equipment for the JAF.
