In an interview with Petra on Monday, Kurilla highlighted the strategic
importance of the
Jordanian Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF), which was made clear
during the battle against Daesh.
Asked about
Jordan’s contributions to regional peace and stability, he said the Kingdom,
under His Majesty King Abdullah’s leadership, leads the way for security and
stability in the region and that JAF is among CENTCOM’s strongest, most
committed and most reliable partners.
In a meeting with
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, Kurilla said:
“Ours is a relationship built on trust. This is a benefit to the region.”
He commended JAF
for its professionalism, competency, discipline, and tactical proficiency.
On military
cooperation with Jordan, the US commander said that the “ongoing
military-to-military partnership with the JAF is paramount to defending our
mutual interests, providing a golden opportunity to strengthen relationships
and trust between nations.”
“We train, fight,
and collaborate on all fronts,” he said.
He underlined the
significant role of the Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference,
hosted by the Kingdom two weeks ago, in strengthening the partnership between
Jordan and US special operations forces, and offering another opportunity to
engage with our partners to advance regional security.
