 in the desert areas the traditional system of camel-mounted desert patrols survived, and you are correct when you mention that the Arab Legion doesn't exist anymore but the Camel Police Desert Force, who is direct heir of the Arab Legion, all legionnaries are bearing the typical attributs of the Arab Legion; "bothra with igal" and their metal badge is the one of Arab Legion ... MORE, they still have the shibriya as part of their equipment as show the following pic's extracted from an internet site concerning; Jordan Police Forces  I met them often around the "Wadi Rum", me with my 4x4 and them with their camels .. intemporel meeting  Arab Legion  Police Desert Force  camel-mounted Police Desert Force  à + Dom |

Dom I cannot argue with that, it makes sense.
Interesting enough, the IDF had, from time to time, its own camel-raiders unit. This was no police but a long range patrol and recon. Note the german MG37 & saddle holster in the first photo, the Thompson SMG and what appears like a Lewis gun in the second photo. |
