In 2017, the Trooping of the Colour (officially known as the Flag Parade) was moved to September and is held annually. Around 1,000 troops take part in the parade, which is held in [[Amman]], the national capital. Al Rayah Square (Square of the Emblem) was specially built for this occasion near the royal court. It stands on an area of 6,300 square metres and can host up to 5,000 people.<ref>{{cite web |date=3 June 2016 |script-title=ar:إنشاء ميدان الراية |trans-title=Building the Square of the Emblem |url=http://islahjo.com/36282 |access-date=12 June 2018 |website=Islahjo.com |language=ar}}</ref> In the parade, the King awards the Colours of the Arab Revolt to one of the army's battalions, which holds it until the next Trooping the Colour.

In 2016, the colours went to the 28th Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II Rangers Brigade. In 2017, the colours were awarded to the 39th Ja'far bin Abi Talib Infantry Battalion.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 September 2017 |script-title=ar: القائد الأعلى يرعى "استعراض العلم" السنوي |trans-title=The Supreme Commander Attends the annual "Flag Review" |url=http://alrai.com/article/10407182/%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%B9%D9%89-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B6-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%86%D9%88%D9%8A---%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%B1 |access-date=12 June 2018 |work=[[Al Ra'i (Jordanian newspaper)|Al Ra'i]] |language=ar}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=JT |date=3 June 2016 |title=King attends 'Flag Parade' to mark Revolt centennial |url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/king-attends-flag-parade’-mark-revolt-centennial |access-date=29 May 2019 |work=[[The Jordan Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=29 September 2017 |title=King Attends Annual Flag Parade |url=http://www.jordanembassyus.org/blog/king-attends-annual-flag-parade |access-date=29 May 2019 |website=The Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Washington, D.C.}}</ref> In 2018, the colours were in the possession of the 9th Prince Mohammed Mechanised Battalion.<ref>{{cite news |title=King, Brunei sultan attend annual Flag Parade |url=http://www.jordantimes.com/news/local/king-brunei-sultan-attend-annual-flag-parade |work=The Jordan Times}}</ref>
