Ukraine: DOD Can Take Additional Steps to Improve Its Security Assistance Training

Excerpt:  “As part of the U.S. response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, DOD has trained Ukrainian personnel on specific group operations, weapons, and leadership within a broader international effort. DOD prioritized a quick start to the training without fully identifying and planning for training needs. For example, sometimes the training didn’t reflect the trainers’ expertise, or needed equipment hadn’t arrived in time. As a result, the training was inefficient for the first few months. DOD doesn’t have guidance for identifying security assistance training needs earlier. We recommended, among other things, that DOD issue such guidance.”
