IDF Command and Staff College
The Command and Staff College (Hebrew: המכללה הבין-זרועית לפיקוד ולמטה), abbreviated Hebrew: פּוּ"ם, פום, PUM, also translated as Inter-Service Command and Staff College, Israel, is intended for the training of senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officers. It was established on May 31, 1954.[1]
In mid-1980s, the collected statistics showed that a significant number of senior officers paid little attention to this kind of study. This, together with the drawbacks in military training revealed during the 1982 Lebanon War, had led to a series of reorganizations,[2] continuing well into 2010s.[3]
In 1991, it came under the command of the Headquarters of the IDF Military Colleges.
In 2004, it was decided to add a course for Air Force.
Eventually, the two courses were merged into a single "Afek course" (named after Sharon Afek) intended for commanders and staff officers ranked Lieutenant Colonel and above from all military arms. [4]
In 2018, the University of Haifa had won the first-ever educational tender from the IDF for all military colleges, including PUM.[5]
