IDF inaugurates 1st joint air and ground forces base, implementing lessons learned on Oct. 7
|
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it inaugurated a new training base yesterday for the Combat Intelligence Collection Array at Ovda Airbase, marking the first time the Ground Forces and air force will jointly operate a base.
The facility, part of the Border Defense Corps school, is designed to centralize the professional training of combat intelligence soldiers, with a focus on aerial and ground intelligence collection. According to the IDF, the move reflects lessons learned from the October 7 attack and aims to strengthen cooperation between the branches.
“This is an unprecedented step — establishing a [Ground Forces] training base inside [Ovda Airbase],” said Ground Forces head Maj. Gen. Nadav Lotan. He added that the project was part of efforts to build combat intelligence into a professional framework, stressing that the new base would provide “resilience for the observers and the readiness of the array.”
Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar said the initiative underscored the power of joint operations.
“Cooperation between the ground forces and the Air Force proves its strength as a significant force multiplier, one that has no substitute,” he said. “Today we are paving a new and shared path — operational, infrastructural, and cultural. This is the beginning of a deep process that spreads along and across the air force and the Ground Forces, a process that will strengthen the IDF and strengthen the security of the State of Israel.”
