Early life and education

Ayasrah was born in Sakib, Jerash, on 4 December 1952. He was graduated from Jerash High School in 1970. He then attended the Royal Military College, from which he graduated in 1972 with a diploma of higher education in Military Science, and a commission as a lieutenant.

In 1978, he received a diploma in Supply Management from the U.S. Army Quartermaster School (QMS). He was also educated at The United States Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) and Texas Army National Guard. His professional military education also includes an advanced course in Senior Management at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS).

Military career

After his graduation from the Royal Military College, his first assignment was in the Royal Maintenance Corps Warehouses, which is in charge of maintaining, managing and monitoring all spare parts, special tools and preventive maintenance materials necessary to support equipment, vehicles, weapons and systems used by Jordanian Armed Forces.

From 1989 to 1997, Ayasrah was the commander of the supply branch of the Royal Maintenance Corps.

From 1997 to 2000, he became the Chief of the Central Tenders Committee, and was primarily responsible for buying all the requirements of the Jordanian Armed Forces.

Achievements and role in military

Ayasrah was one of those who played a major role in putting a permanent administrative and technical plan for King Hussein Main Workshops (KHMW), which is the main rebuilding facility in the army. KHMW is in charge of providing overhaul and rebuilding of combat vehicles and their components. The major functions of KHMW include, but are not limited to, repairing, rebuilding, upgrading, modifying, and converting combat and tactical armored vehicles, artillery, fire control, and related assemblies.

Ayasrah also primarily engaged in negotiations with the U.S. authorities to settle military and financial contracts according to the United States Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Foreign Military Financing (FMF) programs respectively. Today, the Jordanian Armed Forces depend on both programs extensively.
