Chief of Staff Zamir revealed at the ceremony the IDF's intention to develop special commando operations of small and sophisticated forces that will operate in the enemy's rear in operations aimed at advancing the achievement of war objectives:
"A strong and relevant deep command constitutes a central part of our source of strength in war. On the battlefield, we must think of the exceptional - small and professional commando forces operating deep in enemy territory, with special capabilities and advanced technologies, adding an additional capability to the equation of mass and fire.
Micro-tactical scale forces operating with the right concept, alongside the maneuvering mass at the combat front, can prove that small and sophisticated can be and should be an effective systemic complement.
We must combine combat mass alongside a small and sophisticated force, advanced forces operating with a low profile alongside the enemy in its rear, with minimal friction and maximum effect - accelerating progress in achieving campaign goals and disrupting the enemy's balance.
