US Army 101st Airborne soldiers deploy to Ukraine
By Illia Ponomarenko.
Published May 2

Personnel of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division arrived in Ukraine on May 2, as part of the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine (JMTG-U) mission. They deployed to the International Center For Peacekeeping and Security in Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine.

Over 130 soldiers from the division’s 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team “Strike” have replaced the Tennessee Army National Guard 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, which had been providing training to Ukraine’s troops at the center, commonly known as the Yavoriv training range, since August 2018.
