History[edit]It was established as a separate brigade in 1982[1] in response to the growing need for infantry manpower[1] in the wake of the 1982 Lebanon War, though its 50th battalion was originally part of the Paratrooper Brigade in the 1950s. It is formed mainly from regular draftees as well as from a core of soldiers from the Nahal group, part of the Nahal movement, which combines social volunteerism, agriculture (historically the establishment of kibbutz farming communities) and military service.[2] Many Mahal foreign volunteers are also known to serve in the Nahal Brigade, providing a highly motivated and disciplined core of soldiers for the brigade.[3][4]Nahal Brigade soldiers are distinguished by their light green berets,[5] which earned them the nickname "sticklights" (Hebrew for glowsticks). The brigade is composed of 4 active-duty battalions[1] – 50, 931, 932, and 934 (the Gadsa"r, Hebrew for reconnaissance battalion) – and the various companies on its training base, which together comprise Battalion 933.It operates on a rotational basis on the most volatile Israeli borders (Lebanon,[6] Syria[7] and Gaza[8]) as well as in the West Bank territories.[9] It is tasked with regular patrol and observation operations on the borders, counter-terrorist operations and riot control in the West Bank as well as tactical assault support to police operations in the territories.[10][11]It has operated in all major wars and large-scale operations since its inception, playing key roles during the First and Second Lebanon War and the First and Second Intifada.
