More than 300 Ukrainian soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 28th Mechanized Infantry Brigade completed their training rotation with the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine on April 4.

The 1-28 spent 55 days training at the Yavoriv Combat Training Center in Western Ukraine.

While there, they focused on individual-, platoon- and company-level tasks. Col. David Jordan, JMTG-U commander, told the 1-28 the tactical training they received is important, but the cohesion they built is the key to future success.
