IDF's All-Female "Red Unit" Challenges Troops
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - For over a year, the IDF's first all-female, special-forces "Red Unit" has been challenging forces from all units to defend against attacks by Hizbullah and Hamas. "Our job is to challenge the troops and act like the enemy," said Sgt. R. "We learn about the enemy to know how they fight....We switch uniforms and really get into the drill, where we really feel like we are the enemy...and think like them." They hold drills in the middle of the night and inside tunnels. When they are not busy drilling with soldiers, they are studying Israel's enemies to better understand how to plan a future drill based on their fighting strategy.
