California National Guard ready for joint drills with Ukrainian counterpart
A delegation from the National Guard of the U.S. state of California led by its commander David Baldwin has expressed its wish and readiness to help and actively participate in joint drills with the Ukrainian National Guard.
At a meeting with Ukrainian National Guard (UNG) Commander Mykola Balan at the UNG headquarters, Baldwin inquired about the course of the joint U.S.-Ukrainian drills in Yavoriv (Lviv region.) and asked him what needs to be changed in the exercise program for the Ukrainian National Guard members, what the UNG commander sees as priorities in further joint training projects, a UNG spokesperson said.
Balan informed his American counterpart about the start of training-method meetings with heads of territorial command bodies, higher-education institutions and the Training Center, as well as military unit commanders.
