The “Lone soldier” program covers any Israeli soldier with no close family in the country. It is set up and run by the Israeli military. Assistance includes extra pay and arrangements of a place to go home while on leave. In other countries, it is very unusual for a soldier to have no family in the country (an interesting exception is France whose Légion étrangère includes many non-citizens with no family in the country, and for whom special arrangements are made).
