North America Planning Desk,

 

As we prepare for a possible future training opportunity with the Marine Corps, I was hoping to ask a few questions:

 

  1. Do you still have electronic copies of the “Israel and the IDF: An introduction” that was given out in 2020?  The Marines are asking for an “IDF Overview document” and the printed copy of the “Israel and the IDF” that was printed on my desk when I got here seems like a great start.
  2. When can we discuss training entities for an upcoming Marine Expeditionary Unit to engage with?  The Marines are particularly interested in the Multi-Domain unit (which seems to fit with the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) construct) and see that as the natural long-term relationship with the Marine Corps.  I’d love to help facilitate that relationship and assist in prepping training.

 

Looks like we’re finally getting a chance to play with the Marine toys….here we go.

 

Semper Fidelis,
