AMMAN, Jordan — Some 10,000 troops from the U.S., Jordan and 15 other countries in the region are preparing to launch the first-ever live-fire drill involving air, land, marine and special forces operating as a joint task force.

The three-week exercise — dubbed Eager Lion 2012 — will begin here May 9 under the command of U.S. Maj. Gen. Ken Tovo, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command Central Command and his Jordanian counterpart, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Jeridad, director of Jordan's Training and Doctrine Command.
