IDF Ground Forces Train with Integrated Combat Teams

(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - In recent days, the Israel Defense Forces held a large-scale war drill in the north to test a new model of combat teams. The new model mixes battalions from the armored corps, the infantry, and the engineering corps, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the army. Lt.-Col. Radi Azme, commander of the 75th battalion and an Israeli Druze officer, said that despite the new fighting doctrine, structure and weapons, what ultimately wins wars is the leadership ability of commanders during combat and the fighting spirit of the forces.

We are also driven by an obligation to our families and country. From there, we embrace all of the missions we receive."
