The establishment of the association

At the end of the Fifties the first group of IDF career army soldiers began to retire. They shared a common military and professional background and faced similar challenges and difficulties in the transition to civilian life. Their friendship and social ties became stronger during the period of retirement from the army and building a new life, and in October 1960 nine of them announced the establishment of an organization that would handle the common interests of IDF veterans. This was the beginning of the Tzevet association.
