[ed note:also see... last year august!The U.S. Army, seeking to increase cooperation with the IDF, will hold one of the largest joint exercises in the two nations' history in 2012. Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, Commander of U.S. Army Europe, told the Jerusalem Post that the IDF and the U.S. Army would hold a massive ground forces exercise in Spring 2012 that will be part of the multi-phase Austere Challenge exercise series conducted by the U.S. European Command (EUCOM). Israel is part of EUCOM’s area of responsibility.Generals Hertling and Turgeman reportedly discussed the possibility of sending IDF officers to U.S. Army training schools in Germany, where an Israeli officer would serve on the faculty of the school and share his experiences with new recruits training ahead of deployment. Furthermore, Hertling expressed specific interest in sending American soldiers to Israel to study at the IDF sniper school located at the Adam Military Base where U.S. Marines recently trained (see above). http://www.jinsa.org/publications/research-articles/us-israel-cooperation/us-israel-joint-training-increase-missile-defen#.UIzASNuoMuM
