GOC Army Headquarters - Name

Name

The GOC Army Headquarters is known unofficially as Mazi, the Hebrew pronunciation for an acronym for "Ground Arm Command" (מז"י, מפקדת זרוע היבשה, Mifkedet Zro'a HaYabasha), which was the GOC Army Headquarters' previous name before being renamed to the current "Ground Arm" (זרוע היבשה). After this renaming, the acronym Mazi officially refers to Commander of the Ground Arm (מפקד זרוע היבשה, Mefaked Zro'a HaYabasha). However, the old acronym Mazi still remains the popular name for the GOC Army Headquarters.
