Israeli Ground Forces

The Israeli Army, officially known as the Israeli Ground Forces () are the ground forces of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

 Service 
The military service is held in three different tracks:

 Regular service (): mandatory military service which is held according to the Israeli security service law.
 Permanent service (): military service which is part of a contractual agreement between the IDF and the soldier. The soldier agrees to do the job beyond the minimum mandatory service.
 Reserve service (): a military service in which citizens are called for active duty of at most a month every year, in accordance with the Reserve Service Law, for training and ongoing military activities and especially for the purpose of increasing the military forces in case of a war.

Sometimes the IDF would also hold pre-military courses (קורס קדם צבאי or קד"צ) for soon-to-be regular service soldiers.
