Meitav
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meitav (Hebrew: מיט"ב), before May 2006 known as the Bakum (Bsis Klita UMiyun), lit. Reception and Sorting Base, is a base where new recruits in the Israel Defense Forces are sorted and sent to their respective corps or basic training bases. It is also responsible for sending soldiers who are finished their service home.
Meitav is still commonly referred to as bakum and its new name is virtually unknown outside the army. A possible reason is that meitav is the name of the military unit responsible for sorting, but not the name of its location.
The bakum is located at the Tel HaShomer military base.
