    REF: A. AMMAN 0200
    ¶B. AMMAN 0091

    Classified By: Ambassador R. Stephen Beecroft
    for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

    ¶1. (S/NF) SUMMARY: Jordan's top military advisor and
    brother of the King, Lieutenant General (LTG) Prince Faisal
    bin Al Hussein, and Minister of Planning Jafar Hassan will
    travel to Washington during the week of January 25. Their
    itineraries include meetings with senior U.S. officials in
    the Department of Defense, the Air Force, the Department of
    StaQrQQ^,ON2}g5Congress. In the meetings, the
    Jordanians are expected to offer significant increases to
    Jordan's security support in Afghanistan in exchange for
    additional economic assistance through an anticipated
    Afghanistan supplemental appropriation. Contributions that
    support U.S. goals can likely be obtained for reimbursement
    at cost if we want to hold the line and not include Jordan in
    the supplemental. END SUMMARY.

    Afghanistan Issues
    ------------------

    ¶2. (S/NF) Jordan has already made a significant
    contribution of forces in Afghanistan (ref B), currently
    numbered at 850 troops, which includes an infantry battalion,
    a special operations company, and a field hospital. Prince
    Faisal and Minister Hasan will likely make a number of offers
    for increased participation in Afghanistan. Specifically, we
    expect them to offer:

    ¶3. (S/NF) Training for Afghan Clerics -- Minister Hasan has
    indicated an interest in offering a one-year training program
    for Afghan clerics and religious leaders in moderate Islam to
    counter extremist ideologies. The program would be hosted at
    Al Albayt University in Mafraq, Jordan, and has been approved
    by Prince Ghazi bin Muhammed, the King's special advisor on
    religious affairs. (Note: Prince Ghazi is also the author
    of the Amman Message on moderate Islam and the Common Word on
    outreach to Christians. End Note.)

    ¶4. (S/NF) Police Training -- Prince Faisal and Minister
    Hasan will offer to train Afghan National Police (ANP) at
    training facilities in Jordan or by sending Mobile Training
    Teams (MTT) to Afghanistan.

    -- Background: Jordan has established a record of effective
    training of regional police and para-military forces at the
    Jordan International Police Training Center (JIPTC). In
    2005-2007, the Jordanian Public Security Directorate (PSD)
    trained over 53,000 Iraqi National Police. Since 2008,
    Jordan has trained over 3,500 members of the Palestinian
    Authority's gendarmerie-like National Security Forces (NSF)
    and Presidential Guard, resulting in partial withdrawal of
    Israeli security from four key West Bank cities.

    ¶5. (S/NF) Additional Field Hospital -- Prince Faisal and
    Minister Hasan will offer to send an additional military
    field hospital to Afghanistan. Jordan already operates one
    hospital in Qalat, Afghanistan which has treated over 750,000
    patients since 2003. Jordan also maintains field hospitals
    in Fallujah, Iraq and in Gaza, and will soon open one in
    Haiti (ref A).

    ¶6. (S/NF) Additional Ground Forces -- Senior Jordanian
    military officials have in the past mentioned their interest
    in making sizeable increases in their contribution of ground
    forces in Afghanistan, and recently reaffirmed their interest
    to the U.K. and NATO officials. Prince Faisal may make such
    an offer in Washington.

    -- Background: Feedback from the field indicates that
    Jordanian forces already deployed have been highly effective
    at key leader engagement in Afghan villages, forging valuable
    relationships that give these leaders a promising alternative
    to Taliban affiliation. At the same time, a Jordanian legal
    requirement that soldiers deployed overseas must receive
    approximately 1600 USD per month in combat pay has been
    pushing the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) deeper into deficit.
    The GOJ has repeatedly requested assistance from us to meet

    AMMAN 00000219 002 OF 002

    this obligation, a request the USG cannot fulfill. CENTCOM
    has had preliminary discussions with the U.A.E. to explore it
    as a potential source of donor funding, but so far funds have
    not been forthcoming.

    ¶7. (S/NF) Special Operations Training -- Prince Faisal may
    offer to train Afghan counter-terrorism (CT) or special
    operations forces (SOF).

    -- Background: Jordan has developed strong SOF and CT skills
    within its security forces and currently has a SOF unit
    deployed in Afghanistan (TF111). In May 2009 Jordan opened
    the King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC)
    as an intended center of excellence for SOF training.
    Although KASOTC has hosted regional joint exercises, it has
    yet to host a full-length regional training course.

    ¶8. (S/NF) Fighter Jets and Helicopters -- In previous
    meetings, Prince Faisal has offered to send F-16 fighter jets
    and UH-60 helicopters with pilots to conduct combat missions.

    -- Background: Air Force Central Command (AFCENT) Commander
    LTG Hostage met Prince Faisal in Amman on January 19 and
    indicated to him that such a contribution would not be
    helpful at this time. He assessed that Jordanian F-16 and
    UH-60 pilots do not have sufficient combat flight experience.
    In addition, the fleet would require point-to-point support
    from the U.S. for maintenance, repair, and in missions.

    Iraq Issues
    -----------

    ¶9. (S/NF) Prince Faisal may also raise the following issues
    related to Iraq:

    ¶10. (S/NF) Sale of Fighter Jets -- Prince Faisal has
    previously indicated his interest in selling Jordan's Peace
    Falcon I (PF-I) F-16 Fighter Jets to Iraq. The sale is
    intended to make way for an acquisition of fourteen new F-16
    jets from European partners with increased avionics
    capabilities. A recent assessment by the Air Force
    International Affairs Division indicated that the
    acquisition, and an accompanying mid-life upgrade to the
    remainder of its F-16 fleet, would cost Jordan well over $1
    billion, including training and maintenance support.

    ¶11. (S/NF) Training Iraqi Pilots -- As Iraq establishes its
    Air Force capabilities, Jordan has indicated interest in
    training Iraqi pilots. In his January 19 meeting LTG Hostage
    indicated that the U.S. was exploring conduct that training
    itself.

    ¶12. (S/NF) Fighter Weapons School -- Jordan plans to
    establish a center of excellence for fighter pilot training
    and may seek U.S. assistance with the project. However, the
    USG already supports such a facility in the region, the Gulf
    Air War Center in the U.A.E.

    Comment
    -------

    ¶13. (S/NF) Through their deployments in Afghanistan and
    their assistance to other countries in the region, Jordan has
    shown itself to be a willing and capable partner in support
    of U.S. security goals. Despite the recent suicide bombing
    in Khost, Afghanistan, the resulting press reporting
    regarding Jordan's role in Afghanistan, and domestic public
    pressures on Jordan to end its security cooperation with the
    U.S., the Jordanians will make significant offers to increase
    their assistance during the Washington visit. Forefront in
    their minds, however, is an equally significant reward in the
    form of economic assistance through an Afghanistan or other
    supplemental appropriation. Although they would be
    disappointed not to receive supplemental assistance, the
    Jordanians would likely accept reimbursement at cost for any
    additional contributions we do want, especially if we can
    identify a third-country donor to assist with Jordan's combat
    pay problem.
