The armies of the Great
Arab Revolt carried out military operations of different levels in the area of
operations on Jordanian territory from July 1 ,1917 until the end of September
1918, and the Forces of the Arab Revolt moved in a tactical manner consistent
with the nature of their arming and the area of operations and objectives they
seek to achieve, and their operations included almost the entire Jordanian
territory, and these armies moved according to strict plans, and a precise
military vision characterized by the following: Focusing on the vital
areas and occupying them to influence the other army and restrict its freedom
of movement. .1Speed of implementation with surprise and speed of withdrawal from
the site. .2 Adopting nearby transport lines between Arab forces so that
they are not cut off and thus facilitate their siege and weakening. .3 The successful use of mixed forces in the attack/ coordination
of their actions/ especially since the Arab Revolt Forces were formed mostly
from regular and irregular forces as well as cavalry and infantry forces. When studying the area of
operations in Jordanian territory, we find that the Arab forces moved within
twenty routes, adding to it the route of an independent line, the route of the
railway line, all of which overlapped among them, and these routes were
determined in accordance with the following criteria: .1 The direction of the Movement of the Arab Revolt Forces, and
the route they are taking towards their goal... .2 Grouping the objectives of a single military force into a
single line of course regardless of the time it has taken to carry out its
operations, and we note in the routes of the Army of the Arab Revolt that they
target all areas where the military forces are present, namely either in
castles and forts that constitute control points over major roads, mountain
entrances or others - or those camps that are often around a water source, or
the target is directed towards communities, especially since Turkish forces
needed the local population to obtain supplies and some manpower, as well as
relying on some residents as sources of information for them, The Forces of the
Arab Revolt were aware of these objectives and went to them not only to deprive
the opposing forces of the expected benefits, but also to attract these
gatherings, explain the objectives of the revolt and recruit those who are able
to work in the ranks of the Arab Revolt, and we note indeed that the forces of
the Arab Revolt were increasingly steadily during the military operations. The twenty routes formed
a network of military operations in Jordanian territory. And when we monitor
and study them, we aim to introduce the size of the Arab revolt operations,
which reach the level of complete regular military operations, as well as the
value of Jordanian land and the Jordanian theater, which was crucial in the
war. It should be noted that the Jordanian territory is a land of history and
civilization with all known forms of tourism: such as cultural, therapeutic,
and religious tourism, also has historical tourism of another kind related to
military tourism or tourism of the Great Arab Revolt, which needs us to promote
it as a sign of allegiance towards those men who have resurrected the spirit of
renaissance and determination in the Arab nation and who have created
independence and established the steps of the better future. The route of the Great
