Elizabeth and Benzi,

 

Just forwarding the request below that I sent to LTCs Yanir, Richard and Kaduri last week.  This is the desired itinerary, but you can re-arrange to make the IDF/IAF portions more separate/distinct if needed.

 

Respectfully,
Maj Caleb Olmert

Subject: Commander JTF-I visit 11-14 Dec

 

IDF/IAF friends,

 

Below is a draft visit itinerary request for the new Commander of JTF-I who replaced Lt Gen Richard Clark.  The point of the visit is primarily IDF-JTF-I relationships, but he’ll also try to meet with the IAF under his Deputy USAFE Commander hat.  IAF is very familiar with the new commander from his last two jobs, and I’m sure the IDF will be equally interested in building a strong relationship with H3.  I’ll send a subsequent email with his CV – to separate travel dates from names.  Below is the requested itinerary:

 

11 Dec - Afternoon arrival

PM:        Embassy meetings (AMB, DAO)

Dinner with IDF J3 (and J5 if possible)

 

12 Dec – Office calls and Site visits

AM:        15 min stop with DCHOD (as JTF-I Commander)

                30 Min office call with IDF J3

                30 Min office call with IDF J5

                1-Hr Panel with IDF (regional update, setting the stage for the JFT-I relationship and JF/JC exercises)

                30 Min office call (or lunch) with IAF Commander

PM:        visit to CCC (Camp Aviv)

Visit to ITB – ITB outbrief

                Dinner with IAF (request Commander, CoS or A3)

 

13 Dec – Site visits and CADWG outbrief

AM:        Visit to either Nevatim (F-35 and RSOI topics) or Palmachim (IADF and/or UAVs)

                Move to Site 61 for lunch with IADF Commander

PM:        CADWG outbrief and site 61 visit

 

14 Dec - Departure

 

Travelers will be H3, LtCol Matthew Ritenour (USAFE DCOM Exec Officer), and LtCol Jose Lasso (USAFE Desk Officer).

 

 

Respectfully,

Major Caleb Olmert
