Egyptian Armed Forces and Jordanian Armed Forces joint exercise "Aqaba 2015"
The combined armed exercise which included Egyptian Special Forces training alongside their Jordanian counterparts was centered around the mock liberation of a border town that had been captured by terrorists. A hostage rescue scenario was also included.
Elsewhere the Egyptian Navy Special Forces Brigade alongside their Jordanian counterparts were sharpening their VBSS, beach assault, and demolition skills.
The large scale exercise included elements from the Egyptian Army's mechanised and armoured infantry. Infantry from Egypt's elite Rapid Deployment Forces, Thunderbolt, and Paratroopers also took part.
The Air Force was also involved by contributing transport aircraft (C-130 and C-295), transport helicopters (Chinook), attack helicopters (AH-64), multirole fighter aircraft (F-16), and drones (type unknown).
Absolutely great footage in the video, thoroughly recommend watching it.
