The Department of Defense announced an expansion of its training of Ukrainian forces, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder announced from the podium on Thursday.
This expansion, which will occur in the next couple weeks, will ultimately allow for a maximum of 500 Ukrainian troops to be trained per month.The United States will"bring in battalion-sized units, and it will begin with things like live-fire exercises followed by squad platoon and company-level training that will then culminate in battalion-level maneuver training," Ryder said, explaining that this training really amounts to a restart of the training the U.S.
“Combined arms-maneuver training is a logical next step in our ongoing training efforts, which began in 2014, to build the Ukrainian armed forces’ capacity,” Ryder said. “While there’s an understandable focus on the equipment being provided to Ukraine, training is and has been essential to ensuring Ukraine has the skilled forces necessary to better defend themselves.”
