[2] Ahmad was the lead cavalry commander, founder of the military of Kuwait and the Directorate of Public Security Force.

[3][4] Ahmad tasked his defense cavalry and infantry to Sheikh Ali Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah in the early 1920s and transferred the command of defense cavalry and infantry to Sheikh Abdullah Jaber Al-Abdullah II Al-Sabah[3][5][6] following the 1928 Battle of Al-Regeai.

In 1936, the Palestinian authorities asked for financial aid from Ahmad Al Jaber, but he refused the demand due to treaty relations that did not permit any dealings with countries apart from Britain.

Due to this prevailing condition, Kuwaiti royals and other leading figures were barred from financially assisting the Palestinians.

Later that year in October 1936, leading merchant families in Kuwait formed a seven-man committee to aide the Palestinians and called for a public meeting.
