According to the old adage, "an army travels on its stomach." Unfortunately, in this age of push button warfare, wire guided destruction and foot soldiers able to obliterate a tank, and down a supersonic fighter with one correct thrust of a trigger finger, military decisions are no longer decided by masses of men whose human wave of force determines the course of a chaotic battle. In today's military environment, it is the equipment of an army-not its ability to be fed-which, together with training and leadership, prove to be decisive factors. The ability of an infantryman's weapon to fire accurately and faithfully; of his gear to carry sufficient Joads of ammunition comfortably and practically can be as much a factor in a battle as accurate field intelligence, and the soldier's morale and courage at the front line in the heat of combat. Few armies in the post World War era have endured as much combat as the Israel Defense Forces, better known by their Hebrew acronym of TZAHAL or IDF for short, and few armies have invested as much effort, ingenuity and practical applications to their equipment as has the IDF.
