Returning to the fundamentals: Inside Battalion 101’s kill-confirmation drills and rugged field training
In the Paratroopers and Golani brigades, soldiers still do not know where they will be deployed once their current pause ends; a sign of the growing likelihood that fighting in Gaza may resume. Yoav Zitun joined an open-terrain exercise with Battalion 101 and heard why the note bearing the 'Spirit of the IDF' is no longer kept in a pocket; why it is vital to return to the basics of recruit training; and how the battalion commander is coping with slipping discipline - including fighters he sent to military prison. “With the little time we had for training, I preferred to run five attack drills rather than one long defensive exercise.”
