==Jordanian army== On 1 March 1956, the Arab Legion was renamed as the Arab Army (now [[Jordanian Armed Forces]]) as part of the [[Arabization of the Jordanian Army command|Arabization of its command]], under which [[Hussein of Jordan|King Hussein of Jordan]] dismissed the Legion's British commander [[John Bagot Glubb|"Glubb Pasha"]] and other senior British officers. In Israel, the Hebrew term "Ligioner" (ליגיונר), i.e. "Legionary" was still informally used for Jordanian soldiers for many years afterwards, also at the time of the [[1967 Arab–Israeli War|1967 war]] and its aftermath.
