Combined Arms Warfare in Israeli Military History: From the War of Independence to Operation Protective Edge

Combined arms warfare (CAW)—the integration of different arms on the battlefield (e.g., armor, infantry, artillery, aircraft, and engineers—is as old as war itself. This book traces the Israeli experience with CAW from the country's War of Independence in 1947-49 through Operation Protective Edge in 2014. It describes and analyzes the IDF's practice of CAW in each conflict that Israel has fought since the country's establishment.
