It seems that the Hebrew State always sets future scenarios for each aspect lived by its people and army. It even imagines what the surrounding states and non-political entities may face and, thus, have a future affecting the future shape of Israel. At least, it attempts to produce responses to “potential dangers.” In this regard, one of the serious studies is a book by Israeli futurist Professor David Passage 2048: Israel after 100 Years of Establishment. It was him in 2008 who predicted the Arab Spring uprisings through the deductive method, listing some potential threats to the Hebrew State from non-political entities. Along with this approach, the Israeli military institution had no choice but to develop a doctrine, reaching an imagination of how a soldier would look like in 2025. Pictures are set of how the future arms, war systems and general management of the war would be. The leadership networks are being developed and the human resources are qualified. Furthermore, a plan is set to qualify the military judiciary to keep up with the developments faced by the military officers when going into any battle where civilians are targeted. The vision was made public in February-March, 2015 just before the end of Chief of Staff Benny Gantz’ term. He referred to it in a conference held by the Begin-Sadat Center for Middle Eastern Studies in 2013. Jadi Izencot took over to start applying such imaginations, along with some modifications according to the developments on the northern front. Therefore, we have translated everything mentioned by the Israeli Military website about the vision of each branch of the army. This is a webpage for the Israeli Military and directly connected with its affairs. Part I was published in Issue 73 whereas Part II will be published in Issue 74 of MESJ. Part I of the translations discusses “2025 Israeli Military Commanders”, “2025 Israeli Military Judiciary”, “2025 Combat Instruments Conciliation” and “2025 Handling of Missile Threats”. On the other hand, Part II addresses “2025 Israeli navy”, “2025 Israeli Air Forces”, “Israeli Infantry”, “2025 Israeli Military Vehicles” and “Israeli Technology Section”.
