Over the past two weeks, soldiers from the "Niyud" (Mobility) unit have traversed the length of Israel, from Paran in the south to Mount Hermon in the north. The extensive training exercise, dubbed "South-North," involved driving their Hummer vehicles across diverse terrains, including the Negev desert and the mountainous regions of the north. A significant part of the exercise included integrating the Hummer vehicles into the cargo bays of Israeli Air Force aircraft, demonstrating advanced logistical capabilities. The training culminated with the unit's soldiers meeting with their counterparts from the north. This intensive period also served as the final stage for basic drivers to become officially certified operational guides within the 444 unit.
