Gen. Mason Stalker, the deputy training commander for Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, stressed Tuesday at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference that dozens of NATO members are contributing to these efforts, even though the future of the United States\u2019 role in the conflict remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not going to comment on bilateral or individual nations\u2019 policy decisions and how they will potentially affect the future,\u201d Mason told Defense News. \u201cBut what I can say is that SAG-U has got over 25 nations in it right now. And we are continuing to coordinate the delivery of equipment that\u2019s been donated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking alongside Mason, U.S. Army officials described training Ukrainian troops to use armored fighting vehicles, tanks and Patriot missiles as one of the highlights of their careers during a panel titled \u201cAs Long as it Takes \u2015 International Efforts to Train Ukraine\u2019s Military.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are currently 25 countries training Ukrainian forces amid an influx of NATO equipment Ukraine has received since Russia invaded the country. The equipment is delivered as part of the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, an initiative U.S. European Command set up in November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mason noted that 7,254 Ukrainians are receiving training through Security Assistance Group-Ukraine and that NATO members have trained about 90,000 troops overall at 88 training sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coalition has trained 17 brigades and is currently focused on reconstituting several of them as winter approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress passed $113 billion in economic and military support to Ukraine, but failed to pass a fifth aid package earlier this month despite the White House\u2019s request. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/09\/20\/house-gop-in-no-rush-to-give-more-ukraine-aid-after-6-billion-error\/#:~:text=The%20Biden%20administration%20has%20said,costs%20to%20replace%20that%20equipment.\" target=\"_blank\">Pentagon says it can use roughly $5.5 billion remaining from prior fiscal years to continue transferring weapons to Ukraine<\/a>, but that\u2019s not expected to last for much more than a couple of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Bryan Harris, the commander of the U.S. Army\u2019s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, recently returned home after deploying to NATO\u2019s eastern front to train Ukrainians on combat maneuvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During that time, his unit trained 9,000 Ukrainians to use Bradley fighting vehicles, M1A1 Abrams tanks and M109 Paladin howitzers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUp to that point in December 2022, it was all platform training \u2014 how to operate this platform, how to operate this weapons system,\u201d Harris said at the panel. \u201cBut in January, we started combined arms maneuver training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere were Ukrainian crew members on Paladins supporting Bradley maneuver manned by Ukrainian crew members, and it was a sight to see,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt was a highlight of my 25-year career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lt. Col. Seth Barrett, commander of the U.S. Army\u2019s 3rd Battalion, 6th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, also described his unit\u2019s efforts to train Ukrainians to use the Patriot missile defense system at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barrett noted this took \u201ca herculean effort\u201d by the linguist community, noting that U.S. soldiers with Ukrainian backgrounds reenlisted to help with translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian trainees were versed in the Soviet-era S-300 missile system, giving them a sense of the fundamentals, but still needed Patriot-specific training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSoviet systems tend to be a lot more user-involved,\u201d Barrett said. \u201cAn S-300 has 84 different cables that you have to plug in. We have five.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army and NATO officials highlighted their Ukraine training efforts despite uncertainty over whether U.S. funding will
