Jordan has established a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) as part of an initiative to prevent the spread of Daesh and other extremist groups into the kingdom. Assisted in its implementation by the U.S. and UK, the force comprises regular army units that can be deployed rapidly to counter incursions along Jordan’s long and remote borders with Iraq and Syria.
