Historical document reveals orders on 'Royal' designation for military brigades

AMMAN — The Royal Hashemite Documentation Centre (RHDC) on Friday unveiled a historical document dated March 1, 1956, which outlines official orders issued by then-Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Radi Annab.

The orders were issued in response to Royal directives regarding the designation of certain army brigades with the title "Royal."

In a statement released, the centre explained that the document details the renaming of military brigades to include the royal title, a move that reflects Jordan’s national sovereignty and strengthens the country’s military identity.

The document also includes regulations on the leave policies for Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army (JAF) personnel travelling abroad.
