III1- PRESSDAY AT OVDA AIRBASEIII

Reporters arrived at about 11.00 Hrs, to cover the presentation
As you can see the international press was well on a large scale
US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro (middle) started to explain the purpose of the exercise  
    
...and foreigh delegates from Greece and Italy had their short press statements
Also a Major of every delegation also had short statements. Major 'Dan' was not to be recognized due to safety reasons
The presentation took place in the 'Red Dragon' Squadron's hangar # 2
    
USAF- and Greek delegates gave information and answered several questions....
    
.... as Major Massimo Geliano from the Italian Airforce did. So far the official part....
.... in the Hangar #2  .....
.... but outside there was the opportunity once more to ask specific questions such as RAI-Uno did for Italy. 

III2- IDF SELF-DEFENSE MEASURESIII

Israel is a jewish state, surrounded by Arab neighbours, some of them quite hostal sometimes
Therefor Israel has to be prepared for action, any kind of action every 24 hours a day..... 
.... all days of the weeks of the months of the years to be able to defend itself at any attack 
In Israel women are also required to serve in the Army, compulsary.
All kinds of training are given, such as Combat Search And Rescue (CSAR)
This may include doing so in enemy territory under heavy circumstances
Selfdefense measures is to be continued on page 2
