    • The Israeli government for many years did not disclose information on the overall size of the IDF, or the identity, location, and strength of units. This policy was rather successful in obscuring the IDF ground forces order of battle. In recent years, this official secrecy has been relaxed.

    With the exception of unique units, the IDF is organized into the following force-operating and force-building entities: wing, arm, and command, as well as composed of corps, arrays, and managers. These entities are divided into sub-organizations in a structured hierarchical manner. In addition to units within the IDF, there are also units outside the IDF (Yamalim), as well as mixed units which are the units of the joint professional headquarters of the IDF and the Israel Defense Forces. A unit's symbol , including the unit 's badge , the badge and color of the cap, the unit 's badge and other identification marks as appropriate will be determined respectively by the Symbols Committee as detailed in KCA 33-06-02 " Committee on Symbols , Flags , Hat Badges " and a sleeve , rank insignia and symbols in the IDF.

    Kenneth S. Brower noted "... it is now possible to very accurately define the order of battle and material holdings of the IDF up to about 1977. Thereafter, the availability of open source data of US arms exports to Israel, classified US documents released by Wikileaks, as well as data on the transfer to Israel of US excess defense articles since 1992, together with reasonable professional assessments of the long-term impact of changes in the active Israeli force structure, as well as Israeli domestic military production, has allowed reasonable estimates of the more recent IDF’s order of battle."
