ABSTRACT
Much of the operational history of the Legion has been recounted, albeit briefly, in the preceding sections. Its problems and difficulties under the mandate have been also outlined. By the end of the Second World War the Legion did not exceed 8,000 officers and men of all ranks. These consisted of a 3,000 strong mechanised brigade of three regiments, about 15 garrison unit groups totalling roughly 2,000 men, some 500 engineer, administrative and medical services personnel, and about 2,000 recruits in training centres. The Desert Patrol Force was about 500 strong. Altogether Transjordan's forces including its police stood at a total of about 9,000. 1
