Hey Judy, following up on our phone call, im cc'ing Eric and Brian as well.



Some facts:

1.      We are coordinated with the German Government (via or DATT in
Berlin) that all IDF members coming in will be exempt from quarantine upon
arrival. Pending (1) COVID-TESTING (2) Invitation Letter from EUCOM (by
name).

2.      As of yesterday people coming in from Germany to Israel are exempt
from quarantine.



We arelooking forward to conducting an in-person (and virtual) MSEL for JF21
(14-16 September), in Germany.

We do understand there is a need for policy restriction removal to make this
happen, but following up on the letters sent last week (attached here too),
we hope we can make this happen. Or at least allow the COS/DCOM make the
decision.



In preparation for the trip, we will be doing 2 COVID tests (2 weeks prior
and 2-4 days prior), as requested by the Government of Germany. If required
we can do tests in Germany as well, and obey any restriction on movement you
may ask us (we have our own strict guidelines in place as well, and will
like to sleep on base/panzer if possible).



As mentioned above, in order to get the approval from the Germans we need an
invitation letter (very technical) from you.



The following folks will be traveling (FOR THE INVITATION LETTER):
