IDF’s biggest-ever company commander course said set to kick off during wartime

14 December 2023, 10:25 am Edit

The IDF’s biggest-ever company commander course is set to open today, the Kan public broadcaster reports, in an effort to quickly train medium-ranked commanders amid the war in Gaza.

While such courses normally consist of 100 new commanders, the current one has 130, some of whom have reportedly been pulled from the frontlines to take part.

The course normally doesn’t run during wartime.

Multiple company commanders and their deputies have been killed or injured in the war against Hamas.
