Human Resources Corps Officer Track (Personnel and Welfare)

This is the flagship officer track of the Human Resources Corps — the corps that tracks, assigns and manages soldiers across the army. You start with foundational training and a course at Bahad 11 combining professional and values-based content aimed at shaping the kind of officer you'll become. You're then attached to different units for about three months, working hands-on in areas like active duty, reserves, welfare (Tash), casualties or planning, before going through officer selection and officer course. The whole path from enlistment to earning your rank takes about a year — one of the fastest officer tracks in the army.
