In addition to the new combat engineering battalion and expanding Yahalom, the Ground Forces said it would also begin to train infantry forces to carry out simple explosive-related engineering tasks, to free up the combat engineers.
The Ground Forces also seeks to train all of the IDF’s infantry forces to use armored vehicles and become mechanized infantry brigades. Currently, only the Givati and Golani brigades are considered mechanized infantry, while the Nahal Brigade is in the process of adopting more advanced armored personnel carriers.
Geez.
The Israelis still don't get it.
Until peace comes they're gonna be operating in a highly urbanized environment. Bulldozers are nice and a D9 can level damn near anything (given time) but you need heavy firepower up close that can put pain on the enemy instead of poking holes in concrete.
They need to develop a big gun for "engineering" purposes.
Did you know you can buy a robot dog off of E-Bay TODAY!!!!!
Tunnels. Hamas likes tunnels. Why send your forces down tunnels when you can send a robot. Don't like dogs then a small quad rotor. Send something other than people.
Oh and by flooding the zone with robot dogs you can probably fill the gaps in that weird, tragic and probably preventable idiocy that occured on Oct 7 (assuming you believe that Israeli leadership wasn't properly warned).
Back on task.
One part of the article is puzzling.
Making everyone mech? I wonder if that has something to do with how they plan to stage their forces. One of the big chest thumping things the IDF was pushing was how the Eitan was able to quickly respond to the crisis and engage the enemy.
More vehicles for everyone? Don't get that but oh well. Why have Namers and Eitans if you're gonna make everyone motorized as well?
