Now, Jordan’s King Abdullah has promised a relentless and punishing campaign against ISIS militants who are attempting to destabilize the country and the Middle East. So can Jordan win the fight against ISIS? Well, Jordan’s attack of ISIS targets was a definite show of military force. Around 30 Jordanian F-16 fighter jets conducted the airstrike in the Syrian town of Ar-Raqqah and reports suggest the missiles took out several ISIS training centers and ammunition depots. Jordan has also struck Islamic state targets in the Iraqi city of Mosul. And the strikes are just the beginning. The Jordanian military has announced that it will deploy special ground forces to ISIS strongholds in Syria and Iraq. This has been received as positive news by the US, which so far has been responsible for approximately 80 percent of the airstrikes against ISIS. The US welcomes a more active role for Jordan's military in the fight against ISIS’s proliferation in the Middle East. Jordan’s Royal Special Operations Force is a technically sophisticated and highly-capable military entity who often train alongside US forces. The unit is part of the Joint Special Operations Command, a 14,000 strong army that has been the key to Jordan’s ability to efficiently respond to threats to state security. . According to reports, Jordan fought off ISIS fighters who attacked at least six border control posts on the Iraqi-Jordanian border in December 2014. It was the second time in less than six months that the militants had attempted to enter Jordan from western Iraq. The growing threats to Jordan’s security prompted Jordan’s ruling monarch and head of the Royal Special Forces, King Abdullah, to meet with President Obama. King Abdullah had asked the US if they could supply Jordan with Predator Spy Drones. Abdullah argued that the specialized equipment would be of massive assistance to Jordan who would utilize them to locate ISIS targets. Although they are long-term allies, the US denied King Abdullah’s request. Still, Jordan shows no signs of losing momentum in the fight. In addition to continual airstrikes, they recently executed two islamic terrorist prisoners. However, human rights groups have since condemned the action saying it was unlawful. Experts have also noted that the coalition to fight ISIS, which includes countries like the US, the UAE and Iraq, are stronger than ever since Jordan initiated the airstrikes. And it’s suggested that in the next few weeks, countries within the coalition will join Jordan in military action against ISIS.
