Please join host Amir Oren for an interview with BG Gvaram Haglili, IDF Chief Safety Officer.
Brigadier General Gvaram Haglili serves in a very unique position in the Israel Defense Forces. Having been a former infantry leader, he was wounded in combat and had to make do with staff slots where he could utilizehis field experience, and is now the General Staff’s first Safety and Quality Assurance Chief.
While commanders are accountable for whatever transpires in their respective units, Haglili’s objective is to supervise the doctrines and methods of military performance. The goal being, of course, to minimise the number of potential casualties resulting from various types of incidents caused by negligence or recklessness, whether by young draftees, slightly older junior officers or even the top of the chain of command.
BG Haglili retired as a Colonel following a long career, worked for another national agency and was then asked by the IDF Chief to wear his uniform once more, in order to help preserve that most precious of resources – the life of a soldier, sailor or airman in the nation’s service.
