Eager Ukrainian soldiers are getting their guns and ammo faster than ever, thanks to the work of the U.S. government’s top bulk shipper: the U.S. military.
The Europe-based unit in charge of shipping weapons to Ukraine has sped up deliveries by 30 percent compared to the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion last year, said a spokesperson for the U.S. Army’s 21st Theater Sustainment Command.
“We have definitely learned how to be more efficient with our transportation,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson attributed the improvements to increasing experience, after-action reports, and an improved ability to forecast operations.
