Hey all,
Mr. McManus thanks for the Intro. As mentioned, I head the IDF J3 International cooperation desk – we
deal with current and future Ops, IO, Doctrine and etc. I will be the focal contact for all engagements and will add on relevant POC's from the different services, as needed.
At this point we started working with EUCOM (Colonel Jackson J3-9) and hope to further our relationship
with our U.S counterparts on two levels – the first, mainly with EUCOM will be actual coordination, combined SOP's and etc. what we are also looking to achieve, as Mr. McManus mentioned is a joint cross service IO seminar for mutual learning, concept development,
lessons learned and etc.
v/r,
CPT Benzi Zimmerman
Head, International Cooperation Desk
IDF Operations Directorate - Plans, Doctrine & Exercises (J3-5/7)

All,
This email provides POCs and current status WRT out IO work with IDF:
Captain Zimmerman is the IDF lead and has expressed desire for IO organizing, operations, and training. Benzi, Can you provide us an alternate contact and provide any more background you think is important?
LTC Johnson is the JS J5 Desk Officer for Israel in the Pentagon.
MAJ Centeno-Justiniano is a JIOWC member stationed at the Pentagon working mainly in J39
Mr Stephenson is the Director of Irregular Warfare in J7 in the Pentagon
LTC Obidinski and I work in the JIOWC (Force Development) in San Antonio, TX
Please correct any introduction mistakes on my part.
Status: We need to coordinate with a couple more offices (USDAO and EUCOM) then we can send some material for Captain Zimmerman. Additional discussion of an IO Seminar in Israel will also have to await the additional contacts.
Is there something else needing to be done?
