| US sent 'lessons learned' team to model Israel tactics in Gaza operation |
| 2014-11-07 |
| The United States sent a team of senior officers to Israel three months ago to learn from Israel's tactics in Operation Protective Edge in Gaza over the summer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey said on Thursday. Dempsey praised the IDF for taking "extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties" in its war against Hamas. The militant organization, Dempsey said, "had become very nearly a subterranean society," burrowing underground and hiding amongst the civilian population. "We sent a team of senior officers and non-commissioned officers over to work with the IDF to get the lessons from that particular operation in Gaza," he told an audience at the Carnegie Endowment. He referred to the group of officers as the "lessons learned team." DOS condemns, DOD studies from---a schizophrenic government? |

| #2 This last Israeli 'live fire exercise' saw the most extensive use of UAV's, and counter battery missile use in urban warfare to date. Little wonder their might be some curiosity regarding tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). One can only hope that the information provided will not lead to the development of defensive measures which will then be shared with the Gazooks. |
