About our training work
Our training cooperation with various branches of defence in Ukraine has been continuous since 2022. Today our team of around 60 instructors organise around 1-3 weeks worth of training courses on a monthly basis.
Who do we work with?
Our team has cooperated with multiple branches of Ukraine's defence, such as the armed forces, territorial defence, national guard, border guards, national police, emergency services etc.
What are the topics for trainings?
The topics for each training is agreed together with the military organisation the cooperation is for. The plan in the end is the result of the needs and level of the trainees and the specialisations of our instructors available at the time.
Often the topics revolve around tactical medicine and skills useful for infantry: engineering, fieldcraft & survival, mine awereness, etc.
What is the cost of the trainings?
We stand with Ukraine in their fight against russia's unjust attack. The training cooperation – like any other work we do to support our Ukrainian friends – is organised on a voluntary basis and is always free of charge.
