Forces Focus – Israel’s New “Depth Command”

The IDF, which recently announced an update on Austere Shield, is establishing a new command to supervise “depth” operations, the “Depth Corps Force”.  The new command authority will be commanded by a Major General. It’s first commander, MG Shai Avital, will be the former chief of Sayaret Matkal unit, who will be responsible for coordinating and executing multidisciplinary missions outside Israel’s borders.

    What are those whiteish looking things the dudes in the first picture have hanging down on their fronts?

    Looks like an improvised sling. As both soldiers have them, Im guessing it serves some utility, possibly as a visual IFF aid.
