IDF to Introduce New Medical Profile for Combat Roles
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is set to implement a new medical profile, designated as 70, which will fall within the range of 64 to 72. This change aims to allow individuals previously restricted to rear-echelon roles due to their medical profile to undergo selection for combat units. The military's objective is to better utilize the potential of new recruits.
Discussions and planning for this revision are currently underway within the IDF's Medical Corps and the Manpower Directorate. The initiative is expected to be finalized soon and integrated into the initial enlistment process, known as the "Tzav Rishon" (first order), during the determination of each recruit's military medical profile.
This new profile is intended to broaden the opportunities for enlistment into combat positions for a wider range of conscripts, potentially increasing the pool of eligible candidates for these demanding roles.
