The 209th Artillery Brigade [a] is an Israeli Ground Forces reserve artillery brigade based in the Southern District. It has been active since 1968. The brigade is headquartered at Camp Ketziot.
During the War of Attrition, the need for additional units became apparent. As a result, the brigade was established in 1968 as the first regular brigade of the Artillery Corps. [1] Immediately upon establishment, the brigade was stationed in the Sinai Peninsula, where it took part in several battles against elements of the Egyptian Army under the command of the 252nd Division. [2]
After the War of Attrition ended and the Yom Kippur War began, the brigade saw combat once more on the Egyptian front under the command of the same 252nd Division, serving until the end of the war. [2]
In the 1980s the brigade would switch to a reserve unit, just in time for the beginning of the 1982 Lebanon War where the brigade partook in the Battle of Sultan Yacoub. [2]
