The King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is an installation located in Amman, Jordan that specializes in counter-terrorism, special operations and irregular warfare tactics, techniques and procedures. The base was built by a U.S. construction firm on land donated by the King of Jordan and paid for by the U.S. Defense Department Foreign Military Sales programme,[1] part of the 2005 special appropriation.[citation needed] Management of the construction was undertaken by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.[citation needed]

By 2009, the center had been made operational. The center is managed by active and retired special forces personnel[1] and training staff.
