In a conversation with "Israel Today", Col. Eliad Moati talks about the activities of the ground army in view of the changing battlefield, and clarifies that ground maneuvering to the depths of enemy territory is necessary. "No matter how much cyber, intelligence or airborne attack capabilities we have, sometimes there is no other solution," he explains.


"We must understand - despite the recent operations, in which IDF forces did not act massively in enemy territory, ground maneuvering is a critical tool in the IDF's basket of capabilities, specifically against terrorist armies," said Colonel Eliad Moati, commander of the Givati ​​Brigade in an interview. Beginning of Nov. 21. "In my opinion, this is a tool that has no substitute. No matter how much cyber, intelligence or airborne attack capabilities we have, sometimes there is no other solution."

Along with strengthening the remote attack capabilities, and using them in the war between the wars (MBM), the IDF is also preparing for the next war, in which large forces will enter the depths of enemy territory, in order to strike it in the best way and defeat it.

In recent years, the IDF has devoted a lot of resources to strengthening the lethal capability, because the army understands that in order to fatally hit the enemy, it is not really possible to be satisfied with just firing from the air or targeted operations.

The Givati ​​Brigade will lead the ground maneuvering on top of the tiger anti-tank vehicle. Making an informed decision when to activate it due to the significant damage it produces., Says Col. Moati.

"About a month and a half ago we completed a brigade exercise in which we performed the most significant exercise I have seen, as a combined combat team - with engineering, armor, artillery and other units, which brings our strength to another level. We reach a very high level of competence today, There is no doubt that we will lead the IDF in ground maneuvering - no matter in which arena or method of operation.

We have some of the best field commanders in the IDF and weapons that enable missions to be carried out in a high-quality and aggressive manner - a solution that is present in the field and strong. "

Colonel Moati addresses the issue of shortening the service of the fighters, noting that although this is a challenge, the IDF is up to it.

"This is an event that has a very great positive potential for the Israeli economy, along with a negative potential for the time of training the fighter in relation to the time he is actually a fighter. The army is constantly examining itself and knows where the shortcut succeeds and where a red flag should be raised."

Despite the steady decline in the desire to serve within me, Colonel Moati says the fighters on the ground are more determined than ever.

Along with the important service, it should be noted that this is a key without a few very important tools that remain for the rest of your life as well.

The people around me work with a lot of fighting spirit and a desire to serve.

I'm proud of them.

We welcome the new recruits, and we are sure that they will be at the heart of military action, at the front in front of the enemy, within the brigade. "
