More than 100 Kenya Defence Forces troops from various units are in Jordan for joint specialised training on counter-terrorism.
The two-week teaching, dubbed Swift Eagle 2017 is in line with a MoU Kenya and the Heshimite Kingdom of Jordan signed.
The officers will learn tactics of dealing with conventional and asymmetric war threats.
They will also learn new ways of fighting terrorism, including responding to different kinds of attacks,
how to subdue terrorists who hijack planes and how to respond to attacks in villages.
KDF's two elite units - Special Forces and Ranger Regiment - are among those in the joint training with Jordan's Quick Reaction Force.
The officers arrived in the country on Sunday for the exercise seeking to enhance KDF's operational capability in responding rapidly to threats.
The first training on counter-terrorism took place at the Humanitarian Peace Support School at Embakasi Garrison, Nairobi in September last year.
The exercise will enhance the partnership between the two countries on issues of territorial integrity and improve rapid response.
KDF chief of training Charles Kang'ethe said the programme will see them address challenges identified in the first exercise conducted at Embakasi.
"We come from different backgrounds with different doctrinal ways of conducting operations. For a successful operation between allied forces, such a training is a must," Brigadier Kang'ethe said during the official opening of the training on Monday.
The exercise will enhance Air Force and aircrew capacity.
