50th "Baselet" Airborne Battalion
assigned to the 933rd Nahal Infantry Brigade
The 50th Battalion currently has a unique makeup. Two thirds of the battalion's companies are made up of gar'inim, who serve one year prior to drafting to the army running programs in lower socio-economic communities, one and a half years training and serving in the IDF in the same manner as other infantry units, one more year participating in community service followed by ten months of infantry service. The other third of the battalion, including the battalion's veteran combat companies, are made of Bnei Meshakim LePikud, nicknamed Mishkonim.
The Mishkonim are youths from kibbutzim and moshavim, who, pass a two-day gibush (selection phase) prior to being drafted. After their initial training, they are sent, most often within the first year, to Command Sergeants' School. As a continuation of 50th Battalion tradition, they also complete a paratrooper course after their advanced infantry training.
The 50th is considered to be the IDF regular infantry battalion with the highest quality manpower, even more than the Paratroopers' Brigade, as a result of the selection phase that the soldiers must pass prior to admittance and the fact that nearly 70% of its soldiers are qualified command sergeants, though only a few are picked to actually serve in this position. The Mishkonim all serve a full three-year service and many continue on to Officer Training School.
The battalion originally belonged the Paratroopers Brigade since 1987. The battalion participated among others in a sling, Qalqilya police bomb, within the boundaries of Rafah, on Ammunition Hill, Abcaraama, Beirut, Tel - Saki etc.. In 1987 it was decided to consolidate the Nahal Brigade Airborne Brigade 50 (belonging to such, the Paratrooper Brigade) with Battalion 950 (which was composed of veteran fighters of the division, while about six months before their release from the army) and together became the regiment 50 we know today. Today the battalion operates in various mission deployments in the northern border areas of Samaria.
