Israeli Defence Conference Seeks to Rectify Errors for 2006 Lebanon War

The IDF is focusing an upcoming conference on "Land Dominance" as it seeks to learn from the lessons of their ground combat in 2006 in Lebanon:

The IDF intentionally refrained from large-scale ground maneuver operations during the 2006 Lebanon War. This was one of the causes of it's poor showing, which left the scene, for the first time in it's history, without clear and visible decision, both militarily and political. As the war was examined in depth by the so-called Winograd Commission, it became clear to decision-makers, that extensive ground operations, relying on large-scale, rapid maneuver warfare remain significant elements in any future warfighting, both high-intensive and asymmetric, in which the IDF will have to defend it's nation against looming threats, both at the frontline and especially in the vulnerable rear zone.
To regain it's capability to maneuver effectively in threat infected areas, the IDF is preparing its forces to achieve 'land dominance' throughout the battle area, during high intensity as well as asymmetric warfare operations. This topic was discussed in details at the '2nd Latrun Conference for Land Warfare, organized this month by 'Yad Lashiryon', Israel's Armor Association and Memorial Center.
