(USA Today) Maj.-Gen. (res.) Nadav Padan - Resilience is not just a personal trait or moral principle. It is a national security asset. Nearly two years after Hamas's heinous Oct. 7 attacks, the Israel Defense Forces continue to grapple with fierce, urban combat. In the Friends of the IDF-supported Soldier Recharge Program, combat units are periodically rotated out from the front lines and brought to a week-long stay in a decompression environment. There, they receive warm meals, hot showers, clean clothing, a bed to sleep in, PTSD screenings, and access to trained mental health professionals. Many soldiers return to their units refreshed, re-centered and recharged. Emotional resilience is a hard necessity, as central to operational readiness as ammunition and logistics. Resilience is not the absence of pain; it is the will to confront it, endure it and return with resolve. In modern warfare, that is a strategic imperative. The writer, former Head of IDF Central Command, now serves as CEO of Friends of the IDF. 2025-09-18 00:00:00Full Article
