The IDF Women who serve in the Hummer Operators’ Unit – there are no male Hummer Operators – spend their days in the field, training other soldiers. The Operators use their Hummers to demonstrate how to drive the military vehicles (tanks) while the group of soldiers participates in the simulated combat drills.
In order to show the soldiers what real combat is actually like in the field, without exposing them to the danger of real ammunition, the instructors use a sophisticated system of lasers and laser-sensitive sensors, called the “MILES System” (“Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System”).
The IDF’s Hummer Operators’ Unit is the only all-female unit of Hummer Operators in any army in the world.
