Basic battlefield medical classes for Ukrainian MoD personnel concludes; 
more than 300 coached
By U.S. Embassy Kyiv


KYIV, Ukraine: A Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) medical team 
that coached and mentored Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (MoD) personnel 
on basic battlefield medical procedures concluded a month-long 
deployment to Ukraine this week.


Arriving Nov.16, these medical professionals focused on tactical 
medicine, primarily point of injury care, teaching more than 300 
Ukrainian soldiers from the 3rd and 8th Special Forces Regiments, in 
both Khmelnytskyi and Kirovohrad.


SOCEUR Commander Maj. Gen. Gregory J. Lengyel visited the Kirovohrad 
coaching site Dec. 4, along with members of the Ukrainian MoD and U.S. 
Embassy representatives. His visit included remarks to a group of 
graduating soldiers.


"You, soldiers of the 3rd SF Regiment, are now part of the overall 
effort to have all MoD personnel coached and mentored in combat 
lifesaver skills (CLS). These past three weeks, my medical team has 
taught 270 soldiers. Other non-governmental organizations have trained 
many more,” Lengyel said. “CLS is the basis of battlefield medical 
procedures. Where there is no doctor, where there is no surgeon, where 
there is no hospital, you have only each other to rely on in those first 
few decisive minutes.”


The coaching and mentoring team deployed at the request of the Ukrainian 
Government for assistance. It is part of a more comprehensive assistance 
package being developed after the review of feedback from joint military 
assessments conducted over the last several months. These identified a 
need for enhancing the individual medical capabilities of Ukrainian 
soldiers.


Additional deployments to continue this teaching program are planned, 
based on the success of the first iteration and at the Ukrainian MoD’s 
request. United States Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt noted that 
“As Ukraine continues to defend itself against Russian aggression, the 
United States will continue to send advisory teams to help improve 
Ukrainian combat medical care and save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, 
in addition to the over $118 million in security assistance we have 
committed.”

Allied Command Transformation Assistance to Ukraine


A de-mining training planning team from Allied Command Transformation 
(ACT) recently came back from Ukraine.


The team was assembled in response to a request from the Ukraine 
government, and conducted an assessment of current Ukrainian operational 
capabilities and equipment for de-mining (known to NATO as C-IED and 
EOD). To conduct the week-long assessment the team travelled more than 
1.000 kilometres to visit 5 sites where they observed on-going training 
and exercises.


The team was led by Commander AJ Gagnon from ACT's Joint Force Trainer 
(JFT) Division, and he was accompanied by a team of Subject Matters 
Experts from the Capability Development Joint Intelligence, Surveillance 
and Reconnaissance Counter Improvised Explosive Device Integrated 
Project Team (JISR C-IED IPT) and the C-IED Centre of Excellence (COE). 
They met with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Representatives of Emergency 
Services and Ministry of Internal Affairs.


The team was only sent after having gotten the necessary support from 
the North Atlantic Council, NATO's highest decision-making body. The 
NATO headquarters in Brussels will be briefed about the results of the 
trip in January.
