Shahar,

 

Good to see you polishing your boots today! 

 

As I mentioned, it would be really helpful if we could set up some sort of dialogue on between the UK’s Development Concepts and Doctrine Centre with the IDF via the J3 Concepts team. 

 

In particular the UK are keen to talk about Multi-Dimensional Operations, Deterrence, Strategic Orchestration and Wargaming.  Despite the significant differences in the strategic challenges we each face, the UK would like to do some comparative case studies on these themes to help draw the salient points into UK thinking, strategies and doctrines.

 

There was an introductory discussion between Meir Finkel and Air Cdre Phil Lester and Brig Shahi Khashi whilst Meir was visiting the UK last month.  This discussion proved that there is plenty of common ground to follow up with J3 if you would be interested.

 

Could I meet with BG Bangio to discuss?

 

Ronnie
