Dear Cpt B. Zimerman,
I would like to inform you that the
National Guard of Cyprus (GEEF)
hierarchy, is interested to participate the upcoming Military Operation Simulation Summit, sending its representatives.
Although the briefing was quite informative, in order to make the right decision on which staff most fit and benefit more from the results of the Summit, it is necessary to have some more details about the
following:
1. When you specify that one of the target groups is "the commanders and those roles responsible for forces build-up and forces deployment ", at what level
(strategic, operational or tactical) and at what ranks
(e.g. from Major to BG) do you refer?
2. Similarly to the above, will it be more beneficial for the commanders of the manoeuvring units (infantry, armoured) or for the commanders of the battle support units (artillery, signal/communication, engineer)?
3. Will this Summit also be addressed to the other branches of the Armed Forces apart from the
Ground Forces (Air Force, Navy)?
4. Is there a need for the participants to have some specific computer knowledge so they can attend the
Summit proceedings?
I would appreciate it if I could have replies as soon as possible in order to anticipate internal procedures.
Meanwhile, I'm working on answering your questions below.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Subject: the 1st operational simulation summit
Distinguished attaché’s,
I hope this email finds you well, and that you are enjoying the last glimpse of the brutal Israeli winter.
We would like to thank you for your participation in the "Military Operation Simulation Summit & Strategic Overview" that was held in Camp Aviv on January 22nd, 2019.
This Preview Event is essential for the success of the Military Operation Simulation Summit that is expected to take place later this year, between November 12th - 14th, 2019.
The IDF - J3 has begun preparations for the upcoming summit, inviting participants and relevant officials to take part in panels and talks during the summit.
As part of these preparations, we would like to receive your input regarding the following topics:
1) What Branches in your military hold responsibility for Force Build-Up and Force
Deployment?
2) Does your military have an equivalent to the IDF's Concept Laboratory? If so, what tools do they utilize to fulfill their mission? (Example IDF's King's Game System, as presented in the slideshow attached).
3) Does your country have a Leading Industry in the field of Operation Simulation? (Example - Israel's Rafael).
4) Are you aware or familiar with similar positions in Academies/Research Center's in your country that may be of interest to us?
5) Who are the relevant officials in your military that you would like the IDF invite to the upcoming Summit?
Attached you will find the slideshow presented during the Conference and a copy of the “save the date”. A more detailed Official Invitation will follow.
As a reminder, we have available speaking opportunities!
My team, and myself, are at your service for any questions and concerns.
v/r,
