The Israeli GOC Army headquarters (Hebrew: זְרוֹעַ הַיַבָּשָׁה, Zro'a ha-Yabasha, "Ground Arm"), known unofficially as MAZI, is a multi-corps command headquarters created in 1998, which amalgamates the ground forces of the Israel Defense Forces. The current size of the Israeli Ground Forces is estimated at roughly 133,000 active soldiers and 380,000 soldiers in reserve.
The GOC Army Headquarters is known unofficially as MAZI, the Hebrew pronunciation for an acronym for "Ground Arm Command" (מָזִ"י, מִפְקֶדֶת זְרוֹעַ הַיַבָּשָׁה, Mifkedet Zro'a ha-Yabasha), which was the GOC Army Headquarters' previous name before being renamed to the current "Ground Arm" (זְרוֹעַ הַיַבָּשָׁה). After this renaming, the acronym MAZI officially refers nowadays to "Commander of the Ground Arm" (מְפַקֵּד זְרוֹעַ הַיַבָּשָׁה, Mefaked Zro'a Ha-Yabasha). However the old acronym MAZI still remains the popular name for the GOC Army Headquarters.
MAZI includes the five ground-warfare corps of specific military functions:
