The United States and Jordan share a strong defense partnership rooted in decades of joint training and mutual security goals.

Since the 1980s, US forces and the Jordanian Armed Forces have conducted regular exercises that adapt to evolving regional threats and reinforce their interoperability.

Among these, Native Fury -- recurring exercise under US Central Command (CENTCOM) -- stands out as a flagship demonstration of bilateral military cohesion.

In July 2025, Native Fury 25 took place across Jordan’s desert training zones, leveraging the country’s strategic geography, infrastructure, and political stability.

The exercise merged training in expeditionary logistics, rapid deployment, and joint command operations in demanding, realistic environments.

Jordan’s airfields, ports, and road networks made it an ideal setting for maneuvering forces over long distances and under varied terrain.

Interoperability in action

During Native Fury 25, US and Jordanian forces executed fully integrated operations across land, air, and logistics domains.

They conducted joint training in combat marksmanship, explosive ordnance disposal, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), and combat life-saving procedures.

Amphibious landings, urban operations, and convoy live-fire drills were paired with helicopter insertions and close-air support missions, demonstrating robust air-ground coordination.

A key enabler was the alignment of tactics, communications, and command procedures.

Units were able to transition fluidly between US and Jordanian command structures.

Joint staff officers trained together in mission planning and command-post activities, strengthening their ability to operate under shared leadership.

On the logistics front, participants practiced moving prepositioned equipment from ports to inland areas under contested conditions, simulating real contingency operations.

Jordanian and US medical teams also worked side by side on casualty care, treatment, and evacuation protocols.

This integration reflects the depth of trust and readiness built over years of cooperation, and positions both militaries to execute sustained, complex missions across the region with greater agility and cohesion.

Native Fury 25 not only reinforces the enduring US-Jordan alliance but also elevates operational readiness for future challenges.

Through combined combat, logistics, medical, and command exercises, the two forces sharpen their ability to respond together in crisis and contingency operations.

Jordan’s consistent role as host to major US exercises highlights its value as a reliable partner and a regional hub for stability.

Its location at the crossroads of the Levant and Arabian Peninsula allows both militaries to prepare for crises spanning multiple theaters.

By showcasing rapid deployment, long-range logistics, and integrated command capabilities, Native Fury 25 demonstrated not only tactical readiness but also the broader strategic deterrence value of the US–Jordan partnership in a volatile region.
