Alon (oak) of "Sickle" Companies

Alon (Oak) is one of five "sickle" companies {"Eshchar", "Eshbal", "Alon"(oak), "Oren" (pine), and "Ashuah" (fir)} which were established in the beginning of the first Intifada, in order to thwart and prevent the chaos. The soldiers of the Sickle companies wore black berets with the insignia of the Armor unit, and black boots. During the 90's their hat insignia was changed to Infantry due to the different tasks the unit performed. At the end of the 90's all five companies united into "Shimshon" and "Haruv" known as "mechanized Infantry".
