The Inter-Services Command and Staff College (Hebrew: המכללה הבין-זרועית לפיקוד ולמטה) is a staff college, intended for training of senior officers of Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It was established on May 31, 1954.[1]
In the 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] continued well into 2010s.[3]
In 1991, all military colleges, including PUM, were merged into the IDF Military Colleges unit under the General Staff.[4]
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.[5]
In 2018, the University of Haifa had won the first-ever educational tender from the IDF for all military colleges, including PUM.[6]
