Thank you for posting that SFC Davis.
It’s good to know. I wonder why that is not being reported in the news? It would (I would think) give a glimmer of hope that the Biden administration is at least doing some good.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
It has been reported, perhaps not specific units but the fact that US troops are training Ukranians on some of the most recent new weapons, like howitzers, has been on the news.
