This single single-class Order, was established by King Abullah I (who reigned 1946-1951) following the independence of Jordan in 1946

The insignia was originally awarded in a single class only to 'All Ranks' of the Jordanian Armed Forces - including the Arab legion - and Uniformed Police & Security Services for outstanding acts of conspicuous gallantry, and can be awarded posthumously.

Prior to the institution of the 'Order of the Hashemite Star' - another single class gallantry order - by King Hussein in 1971, the 'Order of Military Gallantry' was the highest award for gallantry available for award to Jordanian uniformed services, or to foreign contract personnel or allies
