To paraphrase of a comminique from the Prime Minister
"With the retirement of the Chief of Staff, the Knesset has voted to promote you to take his place..."
END OF OCTOBER 1948
2 T-34's purchased from abroad, they are delivered to Mishmar Yarden. Don't break these too quickly because future support will be a bit slower in coming. This leaves 207 in the treasury
zion worker near Akko reassigned to Central Front, completes railroad north of Tantura H. The new Central Front commander and I need to have a talk about zion workers
There were several injured artillery units outside of Jerusalem at the end of this month with movement points left, W. Jerusalem has a training camp where they could heal quickly...
END OF TURN
T-34 kills Irgun outside Kafer Szold
Nevatim S is building City Defenses even though that has already been built
Reinforcements
-WW1 artillery built in Jaffa given Central Command, moved to Netanyah
-Palmach built in Tel Aviv given to SE front, moved to airbase outside of Tel Aviv
-All other new military units are assigned to the command in charge of that city
Open Front Command
With my promotion to COS, the Central Front again loses its commander. To fill the empty position I am sumbitting the name of El Awrence to take command. The General is to be recalled from retirement to serve his country which is in dire need of his services. I expect the Knesset to confirm this appoint shortly.
COS expectations for November
Northern Front
-Continued Quiet on the Coast Road
-I'd like an estimate of the forces needed to take Safed, I don't like the Palestinians being so close to the Golan lifeline.
-Continued counter attacks on Sirian forces while preperations continue for an advance to the east.
Central Front
-Begin the assault on Jenin
South-East Front
-Rest for the weary
-Support of the attack on Hebron
Sinai Front
-Preperations for an advance South
-Plans for coordinating a drive south in tandem with the South East Front
