Tironut (Hebrew: טירונות‎) is the Hebrew name for the recruit training of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In the IDF, recruit training comes in many difficulty levels, each corps or major unit having their own training program. After the tironut, a recruit is certified as a rifleman of a level that depends on the training program - starting with Rifleman 01 and up. Rifleman 01 is mostly reserved for disabled recruits, such as the deaf, while regular training ranges from Rifleman 02 and up.

All non-combat recruits are certified with Rifleman 02, while combat recruits must at least complete the Rifleman 03 basic training. All recruits in the IDF basic training wear the general all-army khaki beret and get their corps beret upon completion, in a ceremony where the recruits swear in to the IDF. Infantry units and some others such as military police swear in at the Western Wall.
