According to Lt. Col. Werner, the simulators allow commanders to train more accurately, and in a way that allows them to follow each soldier's training process.

As for recent IDF food quality control, Werner says the food is "commanders' business. I personally deal with how and what the soldier eats. Along with physical fitness, medical care, sleeping hours, it's all the same world of warrior body building." .

According to him, the surveys indicate a good situation, but he notes that there is vigilance at the training base for the media discourse, and that emphasis is placed on the visibility of the food.

"A Southern Command nutritionist also accompanies the process. Every meal is filmed so that there is control over the quantity and how things are served. It is important to look, what it looks like in the field. We are in close control."

Werner further clarified that the seven-hour sleep of the General Staff is strict and that "everyone sleeps in air-conditioned buildings."

"It is not a matter of rewarding the soldier from a telephone, but of making the soldier's qualitative training for battle," he says of the issue of the youths' frequent use of mobile phones.

"During the day, from morning to evening, the soldier goes through high content to get him ready for the battlefield. That is the goal. In this process, the soldier is not with a phone. He has an hour a day at the end of the day with a cellphone."

"I did a survey on the use to understand how the soldiers perceive the cellular issue. The soldiers claim that not using the cellphone contributes to their concentration and combat training. It made me happy to see me where they want to concentrate on training," says the base commander.

"Every soldier is a world. I do not look at them as a framework."

Another issue that provokes controversy is the approval of the IDF's upbringing of the elderly:

The application is weighed against three options: personal application, medical or religious exemption.

Take everything, consider carefully and inform the soldier whether he is eligible or not. "However, he emphasizes that" there were exceptional events.

Before as a cycle there were some individual certifications that were lost.

The matter has been taken care of.

Every soldier is a world, I do not look at them as a framework. "
