United States flag

The United States Armed Forces

Established: 1775

Forged in the American Revolution, the U.S. Armed Forces have grown into the most technologically advanced military in the world. From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, American service members have defended freedom and projected power across the globe. The U.S. military leave program is a cornerstone of its personnel support system, providing up to 30 days of annual leave to ensure soldiers remain rested, resilient, and connected with their families.

Israel flag

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF)

Established: 1948

Born from the necessity to defend a new nation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have become renowned for their innovation, intelligence, and operational excellence. Operating on the principle of a "people's army," the IDF relies on compulsory service, deeply embedding it within Israeli society. Leave for IDF soldiers is considered a vital component of service, allowing them to return home, recharge, and maintain the strong societal bonds that are crucial to the nation's defense and morale.
