Due to instability and the presence of terrorist networks in its neighboring countries, Jordan ensures that no terrorist elements cross over the border to Jordan from Syria and Iraq. The Jordanian Special Operations Command (JORSOCOM) takes care of primary roles such as reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, search and rescue, and the protection of important religious and tourist sites. The Special Forces are also assigned to carry out precision strikes against critical enemy targets even if they are beyond the borders.

After the Gulf War, Jordan established diplomatic relations and is an active participant in trying to establish a peace process across the Middle East, as part of this, it has provided its troops for UN peacekeeping missions.
