The United States has its Green
Berets. In Israel, the elite of the
armed forces are the "Red Berets"
paratroopers. There is a story that
floats around Tel Aviv that a "Jew-
ish mother's dream is no longer
to rear a doctor, but a paratroop-
er.
Ten years ago, in October 1956,
they parachuted into combat for
the first time and showed _what a
fine fighting force they were.
The occasion was the lightning
Sinai Campaign. A battalion of
paratroopers jumped 80 miles east

PART II

of the Suez Canal, held the post and
I later marched to the Suez Canal.
The paratroopers had plenty of
self-confidence; they had develop-
ed battle procedures based on
speedy organization and the dash
into action.
According to one Israeli army
colonel, the nucleus of the corps
came from those few Jews who
parachuted for the British during
the war into Nazi-controlled Eu-
rope to conduct subversive activity.
Israeli paratroop units were found-
ed—and the initial recruits trained
—by less than five men.
From the beginning, the training
of the men with the "red beret"
was_ tough. Not only did they have
to undergo a vigorous Army train-
ing—which according to veterans
of both the American and Israeli
army—is tougher than the United
States, but they had even rougher
combat courses.
According to Israel military
officers, the paratroopers as
units got their taste of real bat-
tle in retaliation raids against
Arab towns, infiltrator bases and
Arab army camps across the bor-
ders of Israel. Most of the sol-
diers in the forays were para-
troopers.
The paratroopers attract prob-
ably the finest and most idealistic
of Israeli youth. They have devel-
oped an esprit de corps with all the
romanticism of, for example. the
United States Marines Corps, or, of
late, the Green Berets.
According to Gen. Moshe Dayan,
"their toughness in battle and in
physique are often misleading,
masking integrity and a limitless
dedication—dedication to the ful-
filment of their assignment and
devotion to their comrades."
In his recently published "Diary
of the Sinai Campaign," Gen.
Dayan summed up their fighting
ability in one sentence: "As to the
comparatively high number of
enemy dead and small number of
prisoners in the battles along the
Kuntilla-Mitla Axis. this is due to
the way in which our paratroopers
fight and not to tough resistance
put up by the Egyptians holding
the line."
The Sinai Campaign boosted the
paratroopers' reputation as fight-
ers. Military experts say now that
certainly one of the consequences
of the campaign was that Israel
achieved recognition from several
large and especially small coun-
tries in Africa and Asia "of her
ability to stand up and fight."
African and Asian nations invited
Israel to train their paratroops
corps.
Today in the Congo in Nepal and
in Uganda, Israeli paratroopers
are training parachute men.
