Logistic Corps Memorial, Military memorial in Central District, Israel.
The Logistic Corps Memorial is a memorial and monument in the Modi'in forest near Tel Hadid and the Ben Shemen interchange. It is an abstract sculptural structure of white-painted concrete beams and black-painted steel beams rising to 12 metres; behind the central element stands a curved wall engraved with the names of about 600 fallen corps members, the corps emblem and a verse from Nehemiah 4:11.
The monument was initiated by an association of civilians commemorating the heritage of the Maintenance Corps, and was designed and built by the IDF's 5600 Construction Center. It was originally known as the memorial to the fallen of the Maintenance Corps and later became the memorial of the Logistics Corps. About 600 names of fallen corps members are engraved on the curved wall behind the central element.
The curved wall behind the central element bears the names of about 600 fallen corps members, followed by the corps insignia and a verse from Nehemiah 4:11: "One hand does the work and one holds the weapon." Three flagpoles stand at the site, also used for lighting a memorial torch.
The site lies in the Modi'in forests near Tel Hadid and the Ben Shemen interchange, reached by road and best visited in daylight. The parade ground and theatre face the monument, so ceremonies can close parts of the grounds; check ahead before planning a visit.
