In recent days, the IDF Personnel Division (ACA) has made changes to shorten the screening procedures for youths designated for security service (GSS), in order to fill a gap of more than 15,000 GSS that did not pass the first order process. Following the first wave of the corona plague, of which 4,500 are from the recruitment bureau in Tel Hashomer alone.

Now, senior IDF officials are warning that the military will not be able to cope with the expected workload in the PLO and that there are unsolvable challenges such as a severe shortage of manpower, in part due to the duty of isolation.



A senior doctor at the "Meitav" absorption and sorting base in Tel Hashomer warned senior commanders in the IDF that due to the situation, the military system would have difficulty coping with the sorting processes, For the next two years. The



ACA said they were familiar with the doctor's claims, but made it clear that by the beginning of December the gap would be closed and thousands of teenagers would complete the first order process.

This, on the assumption that there will be no third wave of Corona outbreaks, which will oblige the IDF to close the recruitment offices around the country again.

There are still unsolvable challenges.

One of the officials in the ward said he understands the senior doctor's concerns.

"His perspective is very correct. He sees a big surge of the eleventh graders who now, with more than 20 thousand youths will make a first order coming year and another 4,000 are still not finished with them - but there are plans to close them."



However, Other sources in Meitav insisted that despite the high motivation and significant changes made to the information systems, there are still unsolvable challenges. One source claimed that there were faults in the data verification phase, mainly due to the load on the information systems and server



crashes

.

However, the division clarified that some of the gaps created so far are due to the fact that the questionnaires and forms are being transferred from a civilian Internet system to a classified military system, and for fear of harming the network, every item is being checked. The ICT Division responds very quickly.



Another problem that is alerted at the absorption and sorting base in Tel Hashomer is the failure to send details and personal forms.

One source noted that although police officers send the required forms to the Youth Guide (MDA) via WhatsApp or e-mail - they do not always reach their destination.

This is because the directories do not always enter the information on the computer.

Adjustments are still being made to streamline the first order process.

"We have a patience because adjustments are still being made to streamline the process of the first order, and not just for the sake of shortening it.



" A. warned the NSPs that teens who do not fill out the questionnaires, and submit all the required forms 14 days before the date of the first order - their test at the recruitment bureau will be postponed by at least 14 days. Cooperation and filling out the questionnaires. The



IDF emphasized several other reasons that would make it difficult for the November recruitment process - which is considered one of the largest recruitments in the IDF. The division claims that apart from the challenge of absorbing all the information about the police, some Information for the recruitment bureaus, there is a shortage of doctors, and soldiers serving in the "best" are in isolation.

As a result, there were gaps in the workforce entrusted with the recruitment process, and there was an erosion among the units.



For example, female soldiers in a course of psychotechnical diagnoses were forced to go into isolation for two weeks, in a way that prevented them from completing the classes in a reasonable period of time and integrating into the recruitment process.

In an attempt to bridge such gaps, reservists were recruited for the mission.

IDF: "Army selections were not harmed"

An IDF spokesman said in response that "following the outbreak of the corona virus, during the period of the first closure, the screenings and summonses in the recruitment bureaus were stopped.

At the end of the first closure period, all screenings and summonses to those entitled to it were renewed.

It should be noted that the selections in the IDF in general, and summons to patrol days and formations in particular, were not harmed. "



"In addition, a police officer who believes that the period of closure has impaired his ability to differentiate for a particular position, will be able to contact the best center and will do his best to allow him his eligibility, as such an injury is not recognized at all."
