What you would be doing
You're a combat officer specializing in planning and running digital systems on the battlefield.

What it takes to get in
For men and women. Profile 72 and above. Must have data suited to the officer track and pass a dedicated Kashar'g selection — a two-day overnight assessment at Bahad 7, including a physical-fitness test, group exercises, cognitive tests and a personal interview.
