Abstract:
After the war of Independence, the IDF’s GeneralStaff began planning the army’s structure, frameworkand units, combat doctrines, training, budgets, etc.,without the pressure of war. One question, whichstemmed from the need to cut the army’s budgetand manpower, was whether or not to use civiliansettlements along the country’s borders as an integralpart of the IDF’s defense planning.During the War of Independence, these settlementsfought the forces of the armies of the Arab countriesthat invaded the State of Israel. Stories of theirheroism and sacrifices are part of the ethos of the‘security settlement’.The discussions that took place during those monthswithin the IDF’s General Staff reveal that this questionwas not taken lightly. The decision to use thesesettlements was made not because of the role theyplayed during the war but for lack of other options, aswell as financial constraints.
