The handing over of the banner is a show of appreciation for the bravery and sacrifices offered by members of these units and their role in defending the country and is part of continued efforts by King Abdullah to recognise the various units of the army.

At a ceremony, where the JAF’s band played several musical compositions as the army personnel lined up around armoured vehicles and tanks, the King handed over the flag to the Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II First Mechanised Battalion, the Second Armoured Battalion, and Prince Ali bin Al Hussein 4th Tank Battalion.

Several Royal family members and high-ranking officers and officials attended the ceremony.
