AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces– Arab Army (JAF) have received 150 M577 Armoured Command Post Vehicles under a grant from the United States in early February, the US embassy in Amman said in a statement on Monday.

“This armoured vehicle will further strengthen the JAF’s ability by providing a crew of five soldiers protection against small arms fire and artillery shells, as well as protection from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons,” the embassy said in the statement posted on its Facebook page.

Although the M577 is primarily used as mobile command post, its design is suitable for other purposes, for example, artillery command and control and ambulance or medical treatment vehicles, it added.
