Marines to train at new Israeli combat center
 
BALADIA CITY, Israel — In a new, elaborate training center in the Negev desert, Israeli troops will train U.S. Marines and soldiers, the art of urban warfare.  

Here, at Israel’s new National Urban Training Center, the Israeli Defense Force’s Ground Forces Command is preparing forces to fight in four theaters: Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank and Syria.

The Americans Paid For And Built This

Built by the Army Corps of Engineers and funded largely from U.S. military aid, the 7.4-square-mile generic city — balad, in Arabic, means village — consists of 1,100 basic modules that can be reconfigured by mission planners to represent specific towns.

Israel's Finest

Brig. Gen. Uzi Moskovich, commander of the NUTC even provides the Arabs. “Enemy forces will fight according to their respective combat doctrines, and the civilian population will behave in ways typical of their particular community, religion and culture.”

Eventually, Army and Marine Corps units will trainb here before heading to Iraq.

Israelis To Teach Interrogation

“This is something developed by us in cooperation with the U.S. Army; we intend for it to become a valuable center of knowledge that will also benefit our American allies and other friends,” he said.

An Israeli budget official said total Baladia City program costs came in at less than $45 million, a small fraction of Washington’s investment in the JRTC.

Marines Will Learn Target Acquisition

Jewish soldiers have refined this to an art, knowing that shooting a little child can infuse a disciplinary lesson to the equivalent of killing 10 grown men.

Marines Will Learn Counter Intelligence

Posing as Arabs has allowed the Jews exceptional INTEL opportunities.

Female marines Will Learn Also

The use of a baton on an old Arab women may seem cruel, but Jewish soldiers say you can hit the jackpot on counter Intel.

The Use Of "Death Dogs"

Israelis will often send these into a building with wounded Arabs inside. The screaming as they are torn to shreds sometimes can save injury to Jewish soldiers.

The Use Of Propaganda

The Pleasures Of The Flesh

This demoralizes the Arabs, and Israelis qualified in 'The art of rape' say that these Muslim taboos are too inhibitive on teen girls. Israelis often comment on how little resistance the girls put up, and the moans, are moans of pleasure.

Crowd Control

Israelis say a few well placed bullets, normally on the crowd's spokesmen, breaks up a rally fast

Extra Judicial Executions

Nothing sends a message like executing a terrorist, and his family.

Captured Terrorist Can Work At The Fort

Israelis feel if the have to feed these Arab terorists, the least they can do is play the bad guy at ther training base.

Human Shields

The Israelis find it an invaluable tool.

Defensive Shield Was The Test

Before the 2005 battle in Nablus,  Gen. Uzi Moskovich used an unfinished residential complex as a training ground.  When the two combat battalions attacked the body count was 74 dead, and 155 maimed, and the good news is only two Jewish soldiers were killed, when they detonated a building on themselves.

Palestinians claimed that the Israelis butchered 200 civilians, and half were women and children.
