But only one office is regularly trains allies and partners on new capabilities: the Security Assistance Training Management Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SATMO provides training on equipment sold to friendly nations, its commander Col. Andrew Clark explained in an interview. Its small teams are funded by the host nation and work under the U.S. State Department when teaching new technology, allowing flexibility compared to traditional Army cooperation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in Ukraine, Clark said, his command\u2019s doctrine advisory groups and trainers have helped Kyiv reinvent and reform its fighting style, force structure and professional military education. The post-Soviet nation\u2019s existing warfighting playbook was dominated by Soviet- and Russian-influenced concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting in 2016, SATMO advisers embedded in Kyiv and at Ukrainian bases, Clark said. \u201cWe were focused on bringing Ukraine to a NATO standard when it comes to doctrine and operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctrine advisers trained Ukraine\u2019s own doctrine writers, working from NATO operating concepts, and assisted in establishing a major training center in the country\u2019s west, Clark added. Other members of the team went to the country\u2019s National Defence University and helped standardize the logistics curriculum in addition to teaching classes there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission continued up until they departed ahead of Russia\u2019s renewed invasion in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These efforts occurred alongside special operations community-led initiatives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2022\/03\/07\/how-the-us-and-europe-helped-ukraine-prep-for-insurgency\/\" target=\"_blank\">help Ukraine prepare for an insurgency<\/a> should its military fold amid a Russian onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark acknowledged \u201cwe can\u2019t quantify\u201d the impact that concepts- and capability-focused advising had on Ukraine\u2019s armed forces, but he said many of the nation\u2019s battlefield successes were linked to ideas honed with SATMO\u2019s help \u2014 namely logistics and decentralized command philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Ukrainians have far exceeded Western expectations in their ability to supply and maintain their forces, and we had a logistics adviser there specifically working on that,\u201d the colonel said. \u201c[It\u2019s] not perfect, but we\u2019ve seen a flexibility in planning and operations that is inherent in Western doctrine [that is] not inherent in the Soviet style of top-down command.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the war in its second year, other countries in Europe are buying American weapons to fill gaps left when sending existing stocks to Ukraine. When new gear arrives in the donor countries, Clark said, his troops will be there to help get U.S. allies up to speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark also pointed at his command\u2019s cost efficiency, thanks to legal requirements that hosts foot the training bill. All it takes is people and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith a very small investment on the U.S. Army\u2019s behalf in terms of manpower, we build super-important, high-end, niche capabilities for allies in partners,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they really do help us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little-known Army office working with embassy officials helped train Ukraine&#8217;s trainers.
