Next week it(Libya Operations) will become a time-limited etc conducted by US Admiral James Stavridis, NATO’s top military commander.
In his recent congressional testimony, Stavridis waxed lyrical about relations with the IDF: Each year, there are more than 500 instances of security cooperation, and also eight maneuvers; every two years, there are bilateral conferences on issues of planning, logistics, training and operational integration. As for activity in Israel, he reported, the U.S. has 1,000 soldiers at risk in the radar installation in the Negev. Stavridis repeatedly said that the ties between the commanders and personnel of EUCOM and their counterparts in the IDF are strong, personal, direct. He noted that deploying the powerful U.S. radar on Israel Air Force bases in the Negev, in order to identify the launching of rockets, has brought about an impressive increase in the contacts of both commanders and activators. For Stavridis there are no Arabs; he dismissed the problems of Israel’s relations with its neighbors with a laconic and noncommittal sentence.
