THE COMBAT GATHERING FORCE (FORMERLY THE FIELD INTELLIGENCE FORCE OR ACRONYM: MODE) WAS A FORCE IN THE IDF'S LAND ARM. TODAY, THE FORCE EXISTS AS A SYSTEM WITHIN THE BORDER PROTECTION FORCE.

HE FIRST STARTED A FIELD INTELLIGENCE FORCE ESTABLISHED IN 2001. THE HISTORIC FIELD INTELLIGENCE FORCE WAS SPLIT IN 2009 INTO TWO UNITS. THE FIRST WAS THE COMBAT GATHERING FORCE, WHICH DEALT WITH THE FIELD OF COMBAT INTELLIGENCE GATHERING. THE OTHER IS THE FIELD INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENTS AT THE LEVEL, FROM THE LEVEL OF THE BATTALION TO THE LEVEL OF THE POLICY, WHICH EXISTS UNTIL TODAY IN THE INTELLIGENCE WING. IN HIS LAST YEARS, THE COMBAT CORPS WAS A TEAM FOR THE BORDER PROTECTION SYSTEM, ALONG WITH THE BORDER BRIGADES, UNTIL THEIR FINAL UNIFICATION OF THE BORDER PROTECTION FORCE IN JULY 2020.

HISTORY OF THE BEGINNING

BATTLE INTELLIGENCE: THE FIRST YEARS
PRIOR TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE IDF, A COMBAT INTELLIGENCE WAS COLLECTED BY THE PALMACH UNIT, WHICH SERVED AS A UNIT OF INTERVENING BETWEEN THE REST OF WHICH COLLECTED INTELLIGENCE ON THE ENEMY’S TERRITORY. DURING THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, THE IDF HELD OBSERVATIONS IN THE NAVA AREA AND BUDS WHO COLLECTED INFORMATION ABOUT EGYPTIAN FORCES, AS WELL AS OBSERVATIONS OF THE JORDANIAN LEGION FORCES. IN THE POSTWAR PERIOD, THE IDF LAUNCHED ITS EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH A STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE BODY AND DID NOT CONDUCT INTELLIGENCE GATHERING ON THE GROUND.

DURING THE SIX-DAY WAR, THE IDF HELD A SYSTEM OF OBSERVATIONS IN THE NORTHERN COMMAND, WHICH PROVIDED AN INTELLIGENCE RESPONSE TO SYRIAN AND LEBANON FORCES. AFTER THE WAR, MANY OBSERVATION POINTS WERE SET UP ALONG THE SUEZ CANAL, WHICH WAS BASED ON THE LEAVING NET THAT WAS LATER ESTABLISHED.

IN 1969, DURING THE ASSASSINATION WAR, HE ENTERED THE IDF SYSTEM, THEN UNDER THE CONTACT FORCE, THE GROUND RADAR DEVICE "CHAIR", FOR IDENTIFYING MOVEMENTS ON THE GROUND. IN THE INTELLIGENCE FIELD, HE RULED THE AREA OF THE COMBAT INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION CHANNEL. THE INTELLIGENCE GATHERING WAS CARRIED OUT UNDER FIRE AND INCLUDED OBSERVATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE FLIGHTS.

THE YOM KIPPUR WAR ONWARD: FUNDAMENT AND ORGANIZATION
DURING THE YOM KIPPUR WAR, EXTENSIVE USE OF THE “CHAIR” WAS USED IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS AND IN ARMOURED FORCES. THE RESULTS OF THE WAR INCLUDED THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE FIELD INTELLIGENCE. IN 1974, AFTER THE ARCH CREWS GREW TO THREE COMPANIES, HE BECAME THE "PIRACY" BATTALION, IN HIS PRESENT INCARNATION AN EAGLE BATTALION - 414. IN THE REPORT OF THE ABERNET COMMISSION, “THERE IS A NEED FOR VISUAL INTELLIGENCE... IN ORDER TO ACCURATELY AND ACCURATELY LOCATE THE PREPARATIONS OF THE ENEMY AND ACTIVITY TO THE LEVEL OF THE INDIVIDUAL GOAL. “....” IN LIGHT OF THESE UNDERSTANDINGS AND FOLLOWING THE COMMITTEE’S REPORT, A UNIT OF OBSERVATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1974 IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS. WITH THE END OF THE GULF PEACE WAR IN 1985, THE UNIT WAS EXPANDED, AND AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IDF FORCES IN THE SECURITY ZONE, ANOTHER OBSERVATION COMPANY WAS ADDED TO THE LEBANON RIVER.

ANOTHER EXPANSION WAS MADE IN THE MID-1980S. AS A RESULT OF THE OUTBREAK OF THE FIRST INTIFADA IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES, A PORTABLE OBSERVATION UNITS ARE CREATED. IN ORDER TO MEET THE DEMAND, COMPANIES WERE ESTABLISHED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO JUDEA AND SAMARIA TERRITORIES. THE DIVISIONS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE DRONE UNIT AND THE ARTILLERY AND WERE ACTUALLY THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL BODIES TO DEAL WITH OBSERVATION AND INTELLIGENCE GATHERING IN THE IDF SINCE ITS BEGINNING. OVER THE YEARS, THESE CONSPIRACYS HAVE BEEN THE SKELETON TO A FIELD INTELLIGENCE FORCE. THE ARTILLERY UNIT WAS DISMANTLED AFTER THE OSLO ACCORDS WERE SIGNED.

THE 1990S: INTELLIGENCE GOALS
IN 1993 THE HIGH COURT WAS ESTABLISHED BY LIEUTENANT-ELOFF YOSSI GARINFELD AND THE DEPUTY DOLL ROCK. THE ONLY ROLE WAS TO PROVIDE REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE TO THE WORKING FORCES AND TO TARGET THE ENEMY. THE UNIT ESTABLISHED WAS REDUCED TO A FIELD INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE FIELD CORPS (BALF) IN THE ALFI YEARS, THE GROUND ARM), AND THE SOLDIERS WERE WEARING BLACK SPOTS WITH AN INTELLIGENCE SYMBOL. WHILE YOU WERE THE IDF IN SOUTHERN LEBANON, THE IDF SERVED AS A SELECT UNIT IN THE FIELD OF COMBAT INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION, AND ALONGSIDE IT THE U.S. LEBANON COMPANY OPERATED IN THE BORDER AREA AND THE ARCHETYPES OPERATING RADAR MEASURES. IN THE HELICOPTER DISASTER, TWO FIGHTERS WERE KILLED
