The partnered live-fires also included Close Air Support live fire with assets from the Royal Jordanian Air Force and U.S. Air Force, including F-16 and MiG 23 fighter aircraft, and AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters.

Eager Lion 2024 is a multilateral exercise, with 33 participating nations, hosted by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, designed to exchange military expertise and improve interoperability among partner nations. The exercise is the capstone of a broader U.S. military relationship with the Jordanian Armed Forces.
