Jordan Royal Guard

Jordan's Special Royal Guard Command is the royal guard component of the Jordanian Armed Forces, and is composed of two infantry combat brigades, one ceremonial bodyguard, one training center, and a Horse mounted unit.

Its members are largely recruited from the most loyal Bedouin tribes of the east bank of Jordan.

It is not to be confused with the king's Circassian Bodyguard who, though part of the Special Royal Guard Command, are a separate unit primarily assigned to ceremonial duties within the interior of Jordan's various Royal palaces.

Brigade Structure: The Special Royal Guard Command is under the direct personal control of the King.

New recruits must complete eight months of training in self-defense, security, Palace protocol and military techniques before joining the bodyguard.
