Israel Army Recruit Training

The recruit training of the Israel Defense Forces (called tironut in Hebrew) varies depending on the unit: virtually every unique unit completes a different training course. Recruits are certified as riflemen after the completion of the training, while most non-combat units train in all-army bases for the certification of Rifleman 02. Individuals who antto become officers must apply to be trained at a facility in the Negev desert called "Bahad One" (abbreviation of "Basis Hadracha", Instruction Base).
