A Certificate of Appreciation from the President of the State was awarded to the 6917 Transport Battalion, which was selected as an outstanding reserve unit, in a ceremony held this evening (Monday 01/07/19) at the President's House, in the presence of President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reserve officers and many dignitaries.
Transportation Battalion 6917 is located in Carmel Castle and most of the reserve servants in the battalion are from the Haifa Kiryat area and the surrounding area. It should be noted that this is the second time since the establishment of the state that a truck transport battalion has been selected as an outstanding reserve unit. The battalion was chosen this year as an outstanding reserve unit for its achievements and its contribution to strengthening security.
In the ceremony it was said about the battalion: "The regiment, which was established exactly 50 years ago, is very competent and has successfully performed a wide variety of tasks. It is based on a leading, ethical, determined and highly motivated chain of command, and reservist soldiers of different religions create a human mosaic in which there is mutuality and reciprocity."
Proud to be a transporter after being released from the reserves.
I am proud to be a reservist after being released from the transport.
Transport service is a unique and positive experience in every respect.
