The Warrior Competition gives participants a unique opportunity to train and communicate in one of the most advanced combat training facilities in the world, pointing out that t
he competition works on the tactical level by building team spirit between Jordanian and international forces cooperating against terrorism, as well as enabling the exchange of the best principles, technology, and equipment.

Modern counter-terrorism requires a comprehensive approach that integrates military and security operations with effective media and ideological strategies, in addition to the importance of considering the ideological-informational dimension, which includes the use of information and media to shape and direct the ideologies associated with terrorism.”
