The Biden administration is considering a dramatic expansion in the training the US military provides to Ukrainian forces, according to multiple US officials.
If adopted, the proposal would mark a significant increase not just in the number of Ukrainians the US trains but also in the type of training they receive. Since the start of the conflict in February, the US has trained only a few thousand Ukrainian soldiers, mostly in small groups, on specific weapons systems.
But those lines have stabilized to some extent, providing a potential opportunity for Ukraine to send out soldiers for the training to begin. US Army base in Germany If approved, the new training regimen would take place at a US Army base in Grafenwoehr, Germany, where the US conducts its own combined arms training. The base is also home to the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine.
