Jordan Cavalry WWII

Transjordan’s mounted military traditions developed within the Arab Legion and regional forces under British influence during the interwar and Second World War periods. Mounted patrols and local security remained useful in an area with great distances and uneven roads. The emirate of Transjordan preceded the later independent kingdom of Jordan.

The Arab Legion developed from local security forces under the emirate established after the First World War. British officers, notably Frederick Peake and later John Glubb, influenced its organization and training. Desert knowledge and relationships with local communities supported patrols and frontier security. During the Second World War, legion personnel participated in regional operations, including the campaign in Iraq. Increasing motorization changed methods of movement, adding vehicles and modern communications to a force rooted in regional desert experience.
