GIVATI BRIGADE   GIVATI  BRIGADA

      The Givati Brigade (Hebrew: חטיבת גבעתי‎) is infantry brigade. It was formed in December 1948 and placed under the command of Shimon Avidan. Before that it participated in Operation Yoav (October 15-22, 1948). Its role was to capture the areas of Hulikat, Kawkaba and the junction which is today known as the Givati Junction. Later it was disbanded but was reestablished in 1983 and still exists today. Since 1999 it serves under the Southern Command (Pikud Darom). Givati soldiers are designated by purple berets. The Brigade's symbol is the fox, alluding to Shualei Shimshon (שועלי שמשון, lit. Samson's Foxes), a unit in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. As of 2007, the Givati brigade is organized into three main battalions: Shaked, Tzabar, and Rotem, in addition to associated reconnaissance, engineering, and other units.

GOLANI BRIGADE   GOLANSKA  BRIGADA

      Golanska brigada, znana i kao Prva brigada je jedna od najodlikovanijih jedinica izraelske vojske. Golanska brigada je osnovana 22. 02. 1948. godine za vrijeme Arapsko-Izraelskog rata. Od tada do danas je učestvovala u svim većim izraelskim ratovima i gotovo u svim većim operacijama. Brigada se sastoji od pet bataljona, od kojih su dva bataljona specijalnih snaga.

      The "Golani" Brigade also known as the 1st Brigade. It is one of the most highly decorated infantry units in the Israel Defense Forces. The "Golani" Brigade was formed on February 22, 1948 during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It has since participated in all of Israel's major wars and nearly all major operations. The brigade consists of five battalions, two of them Special Forces battalions.

PARATROOPERS BRIGADE   PADOBRANSKA BRIGADA

      Padobranska brigada (חטיבת הצנחנים, Hativat HaTzanhanim) je u sastavu Centralne komande. Još od 1950-tih djeluje u akcijama u stilu specijalnih snaga. Trenutno joj je glavna zadaća protuteroristička borba na Zapadnoj obali. Brigada nastaje spajanjem Jedinice 101 sa Bataljonom 890 (IDF-ova  jedinica avio komandosa) sa ciljem formiranja elitne pješadijske jedinice. U brigadi se služi samo dobrovoljno i kandidati koji se prijave prolaze ozbiljna fizička i mentalna testiranja. IDF ima uvijek spremne tri rezervne padobranske brigade, koje se sastoje od ljudstva koje je služilo vojni rok u brigadi, i koji su u svojim dvadesetim godinama (osim oficira). To su najvjerojatnije najbolje obučene rezervne jedinice izraelskih obrambenih snaga.

      The Paratroopers Brigade (חטיבת הצנחנים, Hativat HaTzanhanim) is part of Central command. It has a history of carrying out special forces-style missions dating back to the 1950s. It is currently involved primarily in counter terror operations within the West Bank. The brigade was created at the mid 1950's when the commando Unit 101 was merged with Battalion 890 (the IDF's Airborne Commando unit) in order to form an elite infantry brigade. Serving in the brigade is voluntary and requires passing different arduous physical and mental tests. The IDF has three reservist Paratrooper brigades at any given time, consisting of personnel who served their mandatory service in the brigade, and whom are mostly in their twenties (aside from officers). These are most likely the most highly-trained reservist brigades in the IDF. 

OLDER COMBAT TROOPERS WARRIOR BADGE  STARA RATNIČKA ZNAČKA BORBENIH JEDINICA

      Prethodna ratnička značka Borbenih trupa dizajnirana je sredinom 1990-ih, a 2020. zamijenjena je novom. Ova ratnička značka bez sumnje je bila jedan od najvećih ponosa IDF-a. Dodijeljivana je vojniku koji s uspjehom prođe cijelo razdoblje obuke, koja se sastoji od sljedećih faza: Osnovna vojnička obuka u kombinaciji s pješadijskom obukom, padobranski tečaj, napredno usavršavanje i raspored na borbene položaje. Vojnik ima pravo na crvenu beretku nakon završenih prvih testova obuke. Padobranska krila se dodjeljuju nakon 20 padobranskih skokova. Ukupna obuka traje dvanaest mjeseci. Značka je izrađena od metala srebrno sive boje, a nosioci su joj nadjenuli nadimak "Shvuzon".

SPECIAL UNIT MAGLAN  SPECIJALNA JEDINICA MAGLAN

      Maglan (hebrejski: : מגלן ) znana i kao Jedinica 212 ili Sayeret Maglan je specijalna jedinica izraelske vojske obučena za operacije duboko u  neprijateljskoj teritoriji, pri čemu koriste najnaprednije tehnologije i naoružanje. Naziv jedinice je izveden iz hebrejskog naziva za pticu ibis (što maglan na hebrejskom i znači). Iako jedinica postoji još od 1986. godine postala je javno poznata tek 2006! Vrlo se malo zna o ovoj jednici, samo to da je namjenja za najtajnije operacije, sve ostalo IOS drže tajnom. Kao i Sayeret Matkal, nose padobranske uniforme (crvene beretke i smeđe-crvene čizme), obučavaju se u padobranskim bazama, ali nisu pripadnici padobranske brigade. Pod izravnom su komandom Generalštaba izraelske vojske, a ne „svoje“ regionalne komande. Obuka im traje 20 mjeseci (6 mjeseci osnovni program i 14 mjeseci specijalizirana borbena obuka) i tokom obuke otpadne puno kandidata jer je ova obuka među najtežim u cijeloj izraelskoj vojsci.

      Maglan (Hebrew: מגלן. Also known as Unit 212 or Sayeret Maglan) is an Israeli Special Forces unit which specializes in operating behind enemy lines and deep in enemy territory using advanced technologies and weaponry. The unit's name is derived from the Ibis bird (In Hebrew: Maglan). The IDF keeps the unit's designated missions a secret and gives no information about it or the operations in which the unit takes part. Maglan has existed since 1986 but became publicly known only in 2006. Very little is known about the unit, only that the force performs top secret operations behind enemy lines, deep within hostile territory. Like Sayeret Matkal, the operators in the unit wear a red beret and brown combat boots and conduct basic training at one of theparatroopers' bases, they are not part of the Paratroop Brigade. Maglan has a 20 months training program (6 months basic training and 14 months specialized combat education), and many of the candidates drop out due to the harsh nature of the program. The training program is known to be one of the toughest in the IDF. Similarly to Sayeret Matkal, Maglan answers to the IDF's General Staff and not to one of its regional commands.

COMPUTING & INFORMATION SYSTEMS  KOMPJUTERSKA I INFORMATIČKA SLUŽBA

      Mamram je skraćenica od hebrejskog Merkaz Mahshevim UMa'arahot Meida, to jest Kompjuterski i informatički centar. Izrastao je od bivšeg Centra za kompjutersku i mehaničku obradu podataka. Ova služba je centralna jedinica informatičke službe izraelskih obrambenih snaga. Od 2007. ovom službom komandira pukovnik Ayala Hakim. Ova služba je kreirala i održava i zatvorenu Intranet mrežu. To je u stvari kopija www, samo u manjim dimenzijama stvorena za potrebe svih pripadnika Izraelskih obrambenih snaga.

     Mamram (Hebrew: ממר"ם‎), abbreviation for Center of Computing and Information Systems (Hebrew: מרכז מחשבים ומערכות מידע‎ Merkaz Mahshevim UMa'arahot Meida), originally Center of Computing and Mechanized Registration (Hebrew: מרכז מחשבים ורישום ממוכן‎ Merkaz Mahshevim VeRishum Memukhan) is the Israel Defense Forces' central computing system unit, providing data processing services for all arms and the general staff of the IDF. As of 2007, Mamram is under the command of Colonel Ayala Hakim. Mamram has created the military's closed Intranet network. This network is a replication of the WWW, only in smaller dimensions for the use of all IDF's soldiers.

INTELLIGENCE SERVICES HQ   DIREKTORAT VOJNOOBAVJEŠTAJNE SLUŽBE

      Direktorat vojnobavještajne službe (Hebrejski: אגף המודיעין‎, Agaf HaModiin - "Obavještajna sekcija", često se koristi skraćenica Aman) je izraelska centralna vojna obavještajna služba. Ustrojeni su 1950. godine, "odcjepljenjem" od generalštaba IDF-a. To je nezavisna služba i nije u sastavu niti kOV-a, ni mornarice ni avijacije. Pod upravom direktorata korpus je odgovoran za sakupljanje, obradu i dostavu podataka GS-u i političkom sektoru. Istovremeno učestvuju i u kontraobavještajnim djelatnostima. Korpus je ustanovljen na preporuku Agrant komisije koja je razmatrala neuspjeh obavještajnih službi u Yom Kippurskom ratu.

     The Directorate of Military Intelligence (Hebrew: אגף המודיעין‎, Agaf HaModiin - lit. "the Intelligence Section", often abbreviated to Aman) is israel's central, overarching military intelligence, in the IDF. Aman was created in 1950, when the Intelligence Department was spun off from the IDF's General Saff (then, Agam: אג"ם). Aman is an independent service, and not part of the ground forces, navy or the Isareli air Force. It has a staff of 7,000 personnel. The Israeli Intelligence Corps falls under the jurisdiction of IDF Directorate of Military Intelligence (Aman) and is responsible for collecting, disseminating, and publishing intelligence information for the General staff and the political branch. The corps also engages in counter-intelligence and information security work, and presents general assessments. The corps was established as a result of the Agrant Commission's recommendation on the intelligence shortcomings in the Yom Kipur War. The corps includes Unit 800, which is the IDF central collection unit, responsible for SIGINT collection and cryptographical analysis, including the Hatzav Unit, responsible for collecting OSINT intelligence.

OTHER INSIGNIAS   OSTALE OZNAKE

      Uobičajeno je da svaka izraelska jedinica (yehida) ima svoj vlastiti tag (tagei katef). Tag (oznaka za rame) se sastoji od dužeg dijela sa vrhom koji može biti u četiri oblika: krug (komande, direktorati i avijacija osim protivavionske odbrane), kvadrat (Golanska brigada), dijamant  te vrh u obliku štita (najčešće korišten). Tag se nosi samo na službenoj uniformi i to tako da se okači na lijevo rame na dno epolete.

      Typically, each IDF unit (yehida) has its own shoulder tag (tagei katef). Shoulder tags consist of a long section and a tip, which can be one of four shapes: a circle (commands, directorates and air force units except anti-aircraft), a square (Golani Brigade), a diamond, or a shield-like shape (most common). Shoulder tags are only worn on dress uniforms, on the left shoulder attached to the shoulder strap.
