KASOTC: King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center

Jordan’s Armed Forces (JAF) has selected special individuals to be Competitors during the Second Annual Warrior Competition in Amman, Jordan. This highly-anticipated four-day invitation only event is scheduled for 7-10 May 2010 during SOFEX in Amman, Jordan.

Special operations units are the “tip of the spear” and the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is the sharpening-tool that hones it. KASOTC is located in Amman, Jordan and is a one-of-a-kind facility.

Its unique nature derives from an extraordinary combination of cutting-edge training, elite instructor and support staff, and integrated advanced technology.

The facility encompasses an elaborate urban area containing 56 live-fire and simulated-fire training structures – all outfitted with the latest instrumentation and simulated technologies, plus a fully-integrated Airbus, flat-ranges, a breaching complex, driving track and a 5-story CQB live-fire shoot house.

Tying it all together is a fiber optic network and centralized Range Operations Control (ROC).

KASOTC is fully-quipped, staffed, and offers an ideal venue for special operations pre-deployment training, joint exercises, and other training initiatives.
