At the request of the Jordanian government, the United States will leave a detachment of F-16s and Patriot missiles in Jordan once Exercise Eager Lion concludes on June 20, Pentagon spokesman George Little said.

Some 8,000 personnel from 19 countries, including about 5,000 troops from each of the four US military services, will participate in Exercise Eager Lion 2013.

Airmen walked away with 30 medals, including three gold, from the 2013 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., last week, nearly doubling their medal count from the previous year.
