During the [[1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine]], the Haganah worked to protect British interests and to quell Arabthe rebellion using the [[FoshPosh (Haganah unit)|FOSHPosh]], and then the [[Hish (Haganah corps)|Hish]] units. At that time, the Haganah fielded 10,000 mobilized men along with 40,000 reservists. Although the British administration did not officially recognize the Haganah, the British security forces cooperated with it by forming the [[Jewish Settlement Police]], [[Jewish Supernumerary Police]] and [[Special Night Squads]], which were trained and led by Colonel [[Orde Wingate]]. The battle experience gained during the training was useful in the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]].{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
