This is what the Wiki article on Jordanian Special Forces says the badges look like.

And while they have a Special Force Group and a Rapid Intervention Brigade, neither seems to contain either a Battalion or a Legion, but I suppose that could be a translation glitch.

Could it possibly have a historical link to the "Arab Legion" ?

" The Arab Legion was the regular army of Transjordan and then Jordan in the early part of the 20th century."

Active : 22 October 1920 – 25 March 1956
