IDF Military Colleges
The IDF Military Colleges is a centralized educational unit of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) under the command of the General Staff. Since 2019 its commander is aluf Itai Veruv.
It was established in 1991 by merging Israeli military colleges into a single unit.[1] The first commander was Yossi Ben Hanan.
Currently the camp includes the National Security College (Israel) (MABAL), the IDF Command and Staff College (POM), the Tactical Command College (MALTAK, MALTK), and the Noncommissioned Officers Command School (בית הספר לפיקוד לנגדים).
Location
[edit]
It is located at Dayan Camp, Glilot Camps near Ramat Hasharon.
In 2010 a decision was approved to evacuate most of the Glilot camp complex, with the expensive land repurposed as residential area.[2] Between 2002 and 2019, there were various suggestions for the future location of the Military Colleges camp by Jerusalem,[3] but no agreement between the IDF and civil organizations was reached.[4][5] In August 2019, despite appeals, a location was chosen: 39 dunam (9.75 acres) in area within the government-owned public land in the Jerusalem Forest at the Terrace Hill near the Ein Kerem neighborhood of Jerusalem and the Israel Elwyn Center (the latter location is still referred by its former name "Swedish Village" Hebrew: כפר השוודי, romanized: Kfar HaShvedi).[6]
