Crown Prince Hussein attends military graduation

Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan has attended the graduation ceremony for the first cohort of the National Military Service program for 2026.

Upon arrival, Crown Prince Hussein was greeted by several family members, heads of the three authorities, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, Royal Hashemite Court Chief Yousef Issawi, and senior officers and officials.

The graduation ceremony included a parade of the graduates marching in formation, a silent drill and hand-to-hand combat demonstrations, reflecting the high level of physical fitness, discipline, and combat skills achieved during training.

Crown Prince Hussein presented awards to the top-performing graduates.

He then delivered an address, in which he said, “I stand among you today, filled with a deep sense of pride—the pride of a soldier, the son of a soldier of this nation, and a young man raised in a home where the military is deeply respected and the honour of service is held in the highest esteem.

“I grew up seeing that love for the military in the eyes of His Majesty—whenever he spoke of his days in the army, reunited with those with whom he shared the honour of service, or stood among his brothers-in-arms. From them, we learned that the military is far more than a rank.”
