Sheikh Mubarak Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (1934–1987) (Arabic: الشيخ مبارك عبد الله الجابر الصباح ) was a member of the House of Sabah and one of the first Kuwaitis to attain the military rank of lieutenant general. He was one of the first Kuwaitis to be commissioned as an officer by the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK, and the first Kuwaiti to receive an Amiri Decree for appointment as Chief of the General Staff (in March 1963, before the age of 30). Mubarak initiated joint training of Kuwait Armed Forces and United States Armed Forces in 1977 and, the following year, was the first military officer to establish conscription.
Mubarak is the son of Sheikh Abdullah Jaber Abdullah II Al-Sabah (1898 – 1996); the first Minister of Education of Kuwait; and Sheikha Munira Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
Mubarak joined the Directorate of Public Security Force as a Lieutenant during the period in which the directorate included the partnership of the Kuwait Army and split in 1953. The next year, he was appointed as the first deputy commander of the Kuwait Army.
In 1960, Mubarak founded the Kuwait 25th Commando Brigade, the first designated principle Commando mission initiative of Kuwait prior to the forming of the first Government of Kuwait.
