Top US general visits training site for Ukrainian soldiers
GRAFENWOEHR TRAINING AREA, Germany (AP) Monday was just Day Two for Ukrainian soldiers at the U.S. militarys new training program, but the message was coming through loud and clear.
These are urgent times. And the lessons they will get in the next five weeks on weapons, armored vehicles and more sophisticated combat techniques are critical as they prepare to defend their country against the Russian invasion.
This is not a run of the mill rotation, U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday afternoon as he met with commanders. This is one of those moments in time where if you want to make a difference, this is it.
Milley, who visited the sprawling Grafenwoehr training area to get his first look at the new, so-called combined arms instruction, has said it will better prepare Ukrainian troops to launch an offensive or counter any surge in Russian attacks.
