Khaberni - Former MP Dr. Tareq Sami Khouri analyzed the message that King Abdullah II sent to the commander of the Arab Army, which called for the preparation of both a strategy and a roadmap to achieve a structural transformation in the Jordanian Armed Forces - the Arab Army over the next three years.
Khouri said:
The message of His Majesty the King to the commander of the Arab Army represents a qualitative leap in understanding the role of the armed forces, not as a traditional institution that depends on numbers and weapons, but as a national ideological system built on awareness, flexibility, and integration with the state and society.
Talking about structural transformation, combat doctrine, protection of centers of gravity, and technological sovereignty, confirms that true modernization starts with the human and the doctrine before the tool, and from clarity of function before the demonstration of power.
This approach reflects a deep understanding of the nature of contemporary wars, and places the Arab Army as an institution that protects the nation rather than being separate from it, capable of deterrence not just reaction, and capable of protecting Jordan at a time when the nature of threats changes, not just their borders.
"The army and the virtues of militarism are fundamental pillars of the state"
