The Trans-Jordan Frontier Force Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was an official United Kingdom award relating to the Emirate of Transjordan, which was a British protectorate.

The Trans-Jordan Frontier Force (TJFF) was formed in April 1926, with the principal role of defending Trans-Jordan's northern and southern borders. It included cavalry, infantry, camel and mechanised troops with, before the Second World War, a strength of nearly 1,000 men.[2]

The long service medal was established in May 1938 by the High Commissioner for Trans-Jordan. It rewarded NCOs and men of the Trans-Jordan Frontier Force who had completed 16 years exemplary service. Earlier service in the Palestine Gendarmerie or the Trans-Jordan Arab Legion could count, provided the soldier transferred to the TJFF without a break in service. There was no provision for ribbon clasps to mark further service.[3]

The medal is silver, circular, and 36mm in diameter. The obverse bears the effigy of King George VI with, around the perimeter, the legend 'GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX ET INDIAE IMP:' The reverse is inscribed 'FOR LONG SERVICE AND GOOD CONDUCT' over four lines with, around the circumference, the words 'TRANS-JORDAN FRONTIER FORCE'. The medal was awarded with the name and details of the recipient inscribed on its edge.[4]
The 32mm wide ribbon is crimson with a central green stripe, the same as for the West African Frontier Force and King's African Rifles Long Service and Good Conduct Medals.[5] It was worn in uniform immediately after other long service medals.[1]

A total of 112 medals were awarded, with each announced in the Palestine Gazette. Awards were discontinued in February 1948 when the TJFF was disbanded.[4]
