The Canadian and American military took part in a field training of the newly trained cadets

At the training center of the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine a field training of cadets who had been undergoing a course of initial military training for a month was conducted. The main feature of this year's field training is that the military of the Canadian Armed Forces Joint Task Force-Ukraine (Op UNIFIER) and the Doctrine and Education Advisers Group (DEAG) took part in the training.

The field training was conducted in two stages. Foreign instructors worked with the cadets and shared their vision according to all the classes during the month.

During the first day, representatives of Canada and the United States visited the training places where the newly trained cadets trained. The Guards practiced tactics in various types of combat, worked with military equipment, trained on a psychological area, provided first aid to the wounded and performed machine- gun shooting exercises.

In addition, the foreign instructors noted that the National Guard of Ukraine is significantly quickly moving forward mutual cooperation due to the great desire and professionalism of the Guards.
