AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein, the Regent, on Monday visited the First Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II Royal Mechanised Battalion, to mark the 81st anniversary of its formation

Crown Prince Hussein joined a number of the battalion’s former retired leaders for iftar after performing the maghreb prayer, according to a Royal Court statement.

The Regent expressed pride in serving in the battalion, which is the oldest formation in the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, paying tribute to its celebrated history.

The battalion fought in 1948 in a number of battles in Tulkarm, Tal Alradar, and Khirbet Karkar, and in 1967 in Qabatya in Nablus, in addition to defending Arab territories in Syria’s Golan in the 1973 war.
