quote]Strengthening The Ukrainian Army (Source: U.S Army; issued Aug 21, 2016) YAVORIV, Ukraine ----The Ukrainian army, with the assistance of U.S. and multinational partners, continues to strive to improve the capability and capacity within its armed forces. Approximately 20 Ukrainian cadre recently completed their first rotation training Ukrainian Soldiers on individual combat skills at the International Peacekeeping and Security Center.
The training is part of the ongoing operations of the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine. The JMTG-U mission is focused on building a sustainable, enduring combat training center here. Part of this mission includes building training capacity quickly through the consolidation and resourcing of dedicated training cadre.
These instructors are the first group of cadre trained on conducting the first six modules of a nine-week rotational training set. The modules include weapons training, land navigation, combat lifesaving skills, and section live-fire. Soldiers of 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division certified the instructors by observing and gauging their ability to put the six modules into action and effectively train other Ukrainian Soldiers.
Spc. Brett Jones, a rifleman assigned to 6-8 Cav., is a fourth generation veteran and is excited to be able to continue the family tradition. Jones said that he is optimistic about training alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"Every time we go out and observe the Ukrainian Soldiers, they do the training to a T," said Jones. "They are very hands on with the training and make sure each Soldier knows how to effectively do each task to standard."
Staff Sgt. Alex Fernandez, a squad leader and instructor assigned to 6-8 Cav. spent two years as a drill sergeant and was able to use the skills he acquired to ensure the Ukrainian instructors were fully up to speed on training their Soldiers on individual tasks.
"They have always been comfortable teaching the Soldiers, but now I feel they are more confident with their teaching techniques," said Fernandez. "They have built that trust and bond with the Soldiers and they listen to the instructors when given instructions."
After the training has been conducted, the Soldiers from 6-8 Cav pull the Ukrainian instructors aside and brief them on their performance during the exercise.
According to Jones the Ukrainian Soldiers respond well when they receive praise, validation and feedback from the multinational force trainers. "They do training by the book and listen to recommendations that we make," he said.
1st Lt. Taras Tanailov, an instructor assigned to the Combat Training Center mentored the newly graduated Ukrainian instructors over the past three weeks. Tanailov has been with the instructors since they were certified to teach and observed the progression in their ability to train Soldiers.
Tanailov said that over the last few weeks his instructors had learned a lot about leading and training Soldiers. He said that they are more confident in the training, which allows them to be more effective leaders.
Cpt. Abdullah H. Clark, company commander for Charlie Troop, 6-8 Cav., had the opportunity to observe the Ukrainian instructors and was able to view military tactics from a different perspective.
"So far I've learned a different method of every aspect of military affairs from logistics to tactics to unofficial dynamics of the social system," said Clark. "They have taught me a different way to run things other than the way we normally do for our military."
The ultimate goal of the JMTG-U is to establish a sustainable Combat Training Center staffed and led completely by the Ukrainian military.
"I think if we left here today, they would do everything they need to do to train their military," said Jones. "I definitely think they are doing a good job."
Now that the initial six modules are complete, the Ukrainian instructors will move on to learn the next two modules, which is a milestone for the JMTG-U. This marks the first time Ukrainian instructors will learn modules seven and eight, which include squad, section and platoon collective tasks.

L’armée américaine se procurera environ 2 800 fusils MK22 auprès de Barrett, l’actuel fabricant du fusil de sniper à longue portée de calibre M107.50 de l’armée. Le MK22 fait partie du programme de tir de sniper de précision (PSR) de l’Armée de terre qui comprend également la portée Mark 5 HD de Leupold & Stevens (Beaverton, OR) et un kit d’accessoires de sniper. Le programme PSR permettra à l’Armée de terre un système d’armes à portée extrême qui est plus léger que les fusils de sniper actuels et comprennent des fonctionnalités qui masqueront la signature sniper pour une meilleure survie. Conçu avec précision et modularité à l’esprit, le MK22 offre encore plus de flexibilité au sein de la plate-forme de fusil MRAD très réussie. Ce fusil de sniper d’action boulon multi-calibre est capable de convertir entre 7,62x51mm, .300 Norma Magnum (NM), et .338 Norma Magnum (NM) calibres, basé sur la mission.
L’armée a déclaré dans sa demande de budget que la plate-forme de fusil MRAD MK22 « augmente les distances d’impasse assurant une suradéquation contre les engagements ennemis contre les tireurs embusqués et augmente la capacité des tireurs embusqués. »
« Nous sommes honorés d’avoir reçu le programme de fusils de sniper de précision de l’Armée de terre en plus du contrat de fusil de sniper avancé de la SOCOM. Le MK22 est un système de fusil extrêmement capable qui répond aux exigences exigeantes de nos branches militaires », a déclaré Joel Miller, directeur des ventes militaires mondiales de Barrett.

US Army to outfit 64 Stryker vehicles with new network capability
by Ashley Roque
Over the coming weeks the US Army's 2nd Cavalry Regiment will begin outfitting 64 Stryker double v-hull vehicles inside Germany with a package of network technologies included under the service's Capability Set (CS) 21 Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) umbrella, according to service officials.
The army plans to roll out ITN capabilities in two-year increments – CS21, CS23, and CS25 – and plans to wait until the 2023 iteration (CS23) to provide soldiers inside Stryker formations with the ability to operate over the Secure But Unclassified (SBU) enclave while transitioning between mounted and dismounted operations. In preparation, though, it is testing out different networking technology configurations available on these vehicles and hosted a demonstration at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland on 30 June.
“We're taking what we've learned in the infantry brigades, as far as the value of multiple ways to connect and the way to move data, both from an unclassified enclave over to a classified enclave for a unified common operating picture, and moving that over onto a combat platform,” Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) Brigadier General Robert Collins said during the event. This common operating picture would include vehicle and dismounted soldiers locations, and enable dismounted soldiers to pinpoint locations of interest.

Inside Washington Defense a écrit:
Army seeks to raid JLTV spending to pay for humvee recapitalization
The Army has asked to more than double its fiscal year 2020 spending on humvee recapitalization, partially at the expense of Joint Light Tactical Vehicle funding, according to an omnibus reprogramming request the Pentagon sent to Congress last month.
If approved, the recapitalization program would receive $66 million for FY-20, an increase of $36 million, according to the reprogramming request. This money would buy 216 new production armor-capable humvees.
Without the reprogramming, there could be a production break in February, according to the request.
"Recent program developments, including the loss of projected Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in September 2020, have put HMMWV production at risk," the reprogramming request states.
The Army would remove funding from the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program, which is expected to partially replace the humvee, to pay for some of the additional humvee purchases, according to the reprogramming request. The service asked to reduce FY-20 spending by $23 million, which would defer the procurement of "approximately" 471 JLTV trailers.
"The Army is deferring production of these JLTV trailers to reallocate resources towards the HMMWV program to help alleviate a production break for that program and avoid a near term bill for potential start-up costs should that production break occur," the reprogramming request states.
This follows other Army plans in recent years to cut the JLTV budget and direct money to other systems. The service stretched the timeline last year to meet the acquisition objective for the JLTV to 2042.
The Biden administration's FY-22 budget request, released in May, proposed more cuts to JLTV procurement spending, as the service prioritized modernization programs.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), whose home state includes JLTV production facilities in Oshkosh, questioned the Army's use of the JLTV program as a "billpayer" for the modernization portfolio during a June 22 Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing.
