The Netherlands continues to stand with the people of Ukraine since the beginning of the war and is providing ongoing support in response to Russia’s continuing violation of international law.
Recently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine soldiers worked out the theory and practice of actions in patrol. About 90 marines went to the UK to teach Ukrainian recruits.
Commander of the Marine Corps, Brigadier General of the Marines Jan Hut, spoke to the Marines shortly before leaving for Operation. He said, “In addition to the established training sessions, ensure you bring your arctic lessons and experience to your Ukrainian colleagues.”
In weeks of training, the Marines will train approximately 200 Ukrainians to become infantry soldiers at a time.
The training consists of 6 training components: tactical training, weapon learning and shooting training, medical care, handling explosives, humanitarian martial law and dealing with the cyber threat.
Operation Interflex is to have the Ukrainians trained as best as possible to return to their homeland to defend themselves against Russian aggression.
In addition to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, Canada, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, and Sweden also contribute to this training. The Marines take over the baton from soldiers of the 13 Lichte Brigade.
