MAJ Orwin, sorry for the delay. We have determined that I am not the best
candidate for this, mostly because we are not Wargamers here at JMSC and I
have no experience with Wargaming. Having spoken with COL Siboni, War Gaming
is clearly his focus for this event. That said, I have passed this information
to LTC Thomas Tabaka, Chief of Wargaming at USEUCOM J7 to see if he has
interest in this event.

Mr. Lasch,

        Greetings. I'm the TRADOC Liaison Officer in Israel. The Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) will be hosting an "Operational Simulation" conference here 12-14
November. They are seeking international participants with deep experience in
the field. I understand from Mr. Mike McCarthy--who we've invited as
well--that you are such an expert.

        Info about the conference is available at https://www.idf.il/92003/. I've
attached some literature as well. Please let us know if you are
interested/available. MAJ Benzi Zimerman (cc'd) is the IDF POC.

Very Respectfully,

Ethan Orwin

Recommend Tom Lasch at the JMTC.  Tom runs the Sim Center at Graf(Cp Aachen).
He has been in the business longer than I have.
