RFI: Broad overview of Israeli Defence Forces

The Cuyahoga Kid · 05-24-2012

Is anyone aware of a publically accesible overview of the IDF's organization, institutional tenents, budget, and physical composition. It's for a breifing product so it doesn't have to be anything super dense, just a nice ten to twenty page summary.

Years ago Professor Cordesman authored tomes on the military balance in the Middle East, I expect his focus has shifted eastwards of late, but a place to start! Start here:http://csis.org/expert/anthony-h-cordesman

Try this Israeli think tank's work, I skimmed it noting last updated two weeks ago and stopped:http://www.inss.org.il/upload/(FILE)1336472780.pdf
