"It's a great opportunity for the Soldiers of the 45th to use the experiences we've gained through our training and deployments," said Col. David Jordan, commander of the 45th IBCT, Fox23 reports.
"We will assist the Ukrainian forces with their training from squad level to staff level. We will be shoulder to shoulder with them as they train on small unit tactics, security, defensive operations and establish their own combat training center," he said.
The soldiers will provide support to Ukraine within the U.S. Security Cooperation agreements.
