The Jordan Valley had been occupied by British Egyptian Expeditionary Force since February 1918. The goal of the attack was to cross the Jordan and occupy Amman.
Second Battle of the Jordan, also known as the Second Transjordan attack on Shunet Nimrin and Es Salt or the Second Action of Es Salt took place between 30 April and 4 May 1918. It was a second attempt to cross the Jordan and occypy Amman after the first failed attempt.

Note: In this connnection "scout" means single-seat recon planes. In Palestine front both sides had old fighter planes that were withdrawn from fighter duties as newer fighters arrived, but were still used by recon squadrons.
Note 2: Entente aircraft and squadrons are quite historical. But IRL Germans used Rumpler C.II's (replaced by Rumpler C.IV's) and Albatros C.II's (replaced by Albatros C.X). German bombing duties were IRL carried out by Rumplers and AEG C.IV's. However, after testing I decided to add AEG G.IV's for the job as AEG C.IV's and Rumplers are useless for bombing as AI cannot get enough altitude when heavily loaded. Halberstadt D.II's in Palestine actually were not German but Ottoman fighters. Airfield names may not be correct.

Note:There is an error that sometimes happens if BAT has too many skin folders for DCG to handle. DCG has a weird way of regocnizing aircraft by its skin folder and it was created a long time ago when number of aircraft was significantly smaller than today. The error should have been corrected, but it still pops up every once in the while preventing the campaign from launching.
However, there is a walkaround. Go to PaintSchemes and rename Skins folder (eg. Skins_Backup. Then copy the Skins folder fro this package to the PaintSchemes. Later on if you need skin folder for another aircraft you can copy it from Skins_Backup to Skins, or if you install another DCG campaign you can install the skins from the campaign.
