Meet this brave soldier, who provide reliable and uninterrupted communication anywhere in the world.




In order to ensure effective management of the fighting commanders at all levels need reliable and uninterrupted connection - cable, satellite, and cellular. The IDF unit responsible for it "Choshen", which is part of the Department of Communication and Computer Parts Army Command.



As the NEWSru.co.il instructor training courses signalers Sergeant Itai Mazar, back in the sixties in the Army used civilian communications infrastructure provided by "Bezeq". But then the command has realized that needed their own communication system.



Today the division "Choshen" is able to provide satellite communications anywhere in the world, as well as promises motto: "Where necessary, the way you want to." Customers' Hoshena "- representatives of all the armed forces and all units of the IDF. "The answer we have for the cable connection, using optical fiber with a capacity from 155 megabytes to several gigabytes per second," - says Itay.



At the core of the Army communications infrastructure are civil technology, and the IDF is working closely with companies such as CISCO, Netcom and ECI. "Our task - to take the latest developments in this area and not just to adapt them for the needs of the army, but also to make them better," - say the military.



To achieve this, you need to pay special attention to the selection of personnel. It starts in school. To get to the battalion "Amir", engaged, including the field of mobile communication, intellect alone is not enough. Still requires leadership and good physical preparation - because we have to deal with cumbersome equipment, working in combat or natural disaster zone.



In any combat operations involved soldiers of the battalion "Amir," It does not say. "Let's say that each of us is necessary for the service to be in a serious matter," - answers that question 25-year-old warrant officer Gleb Luft repatriated from Uzbekistan.

They were accompanied by soldiers of the battalion and "Amir", which provided uninterrupted communication with Israel.



In the same year in a remote region of Romania, he crashed into a mountain transport helicopter IDF. And in this case, for communication with Israel responded battalion "Amir." You can recall the fire on Mount Carmel. Then the IDF has provided its mobile communication available to the police and firefighters, in the short term by expanding the necessary infrastructure for this in return can not cope with the load of civil.



Veterans remember subdivisions and participation in the operation, during which Soviet citizens first saw Israeli soldiers not through the camera lens pro-Arab propagandists. In December 1988, an earthquake in Armenia that killed 25,000 lives. USSR adopted a proposed Israeli aid, and the program "Vremya" showed how IDF soldiers and search dogs looking for survivors among the ruins of Spitak.



However, this is - is not the only thing that attracts military unit. Even during his military service the soldiers are beginning to look closely potential employers - those communications company, which is working closely "Choshen." This means that in 18 years made the choice may determine the whole future life.
