The fighters will contribute operational experience and extensive knowledge from their military and civilian service, maximizing the benefit from each volunteer. Additionally, the IDF has opened a dedicated address on its website for those interested in joining the brigades.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dedicated Training and Exercises:<\/strong>\u00a0To enhance operational readiness, troop training will include specialized exercises at the Land Training Center. Among other things, the fighters will undergo combat skill refreshers, urban warfare exercises, and complex scenarios.
