Bislmach Brigade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Israeli Bislmach Brigade (formerly the 772 Brigade, as of 2006, the 828 Brigade), an abbreviation for the School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders, is an IDF body responsible for the training of all the Infantry Corps squad commanders and platoon sergeants.

The brigade, whose three bases are located in the Negev, comprises three operative battalions (17th, 906th, and 450th), ordinarily used for training, and during wars or emergencies (such as during the Yom Kippur War) as fully operational combat force, or as reinforcements.

Before Operation Rainbow , during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the birgade’s soldiers participated in searching the Philadelphi Route for the bodies of the soldiers from the Sayeret Yahalom, who were killed during the armoured personnel carrier disaster of May 11-12, 2004. They also took part in the Gaza disengagement plan, and afterwards, were the first to hold the border with the Gaza Strip
