It seems from most sources, including the unit's website, that the unit is a company (Pluga) and not a battalion (Gdud), or a Sayeret. So maybe it should be moved. Any objections? -- Nudve (talk) 19:34, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the merge might be a good, Idea. Support -- Nudve (talk) 06:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change the information about the training to “7 months of basic and advanced training and 8 months of additional special forces training.” Azackin (talk) 14:19, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was in this unit so you can use me as a primary source. If that isn't enough feel free to use the attached links as secondary sources. The first link indicates that all 07 infantry units (this includeds Nahal) require 7 months of basic and advanced training. The second link indicates that Gadsar Nahal specifically trains for 14 months, meaning that in addition to the 7 months of basic and advanced training for a regular infantry unit noted above, Gadsar Nahal soldiers endure an additional 7 months of advanced special forces training.
Name Change for Page Required- Gadsar Nahal is now Sayeret Nahal[edit]
Here is an official statement in Hebrew from the Battalion Commander. The most important thing to note is that the name changed from “Gadsar” to “Sayeret.” Sayeret was the name of the Gadsar’s reconnaissance company, and being that the word “Sayeret” in Hebrew denotes special forces, it was more fitting for the name of the battalion as a whole rather than a specific company within the battalion. Additionally, the names of the companies (Palsar/Sayeret, Orev, and Palhan) were changed to their respective codenames the Palsar/Sayeret being officially renamed “Tzur”, the Palhan “Sapir”, and the Orev “Gazit”. In other words, the Gadsar was renamed Sayeret and it’s companies were renamed using their codenames as new official names. This process occurred not just in Sayeret Nahal, but in all of the reconnaissance units of all the IDF infantry units (Golani, Givati, Paratroopers, Nahal, and Kfir).
This is certainly the most important update, however there are other historical and contemporary details that I would like to add. I would really like to make a more comprehensive and well-cited page for my unit and I would be happy to know what would be the most efficient way to accomplish such a feat. It seems a bit tedious to submit information so circuitously.
(note that I initially uploaded this post to the page "Nahal Brigade" by accident, however, this is considerably more relevant to this page) Azackin (talk) 16:13, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:45, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
