As she takes on her first platoon of new recruits, Noa is determined to prove her competence and leadership capabilities. However, her journey is far from smooth. Her veteran subordinates are skeptical of her authority, and the rookie cycle she is in charge of is notoriously difficult, earning it the moniker 'special cycle.'
Set in the high-pressure environment of a military basic training camp, the series delves into the complexities of leadership and the personal growth required to navigate the strict and demanding world of the IDF.

The interactions between Noa and her platoon, as well as the friction with her veteran commanders, create a dynamic and engaging narrative that explores themes of personal growth, resilience, and the quest for acceptance.
‘Dismissed’ stands out for its unique approach to the IDF experience, using humor and irony to highlight the inherent difficulties and absurdities of military life. The series not only entertains but also offers insightful commentary on the nature of leadership and the journey of self-discovery within the rigid structure of military training.
