US coaches Polish forces in a drone-focused drill based on lessons from Ukraine

The drill uses lessons from Ukraine to train Polish special forces in infiltration and drone strikes, with the Army having run it only twice before.

  • On Friday, U.S. Army Green Berets began training Polish special forces in Germany, simulating enemy infiltration and drone strikes using tactical lessons learned from Ukraine's conflict with Russia.
  • Designed months ago, this marks the first time a NATO ally has participated in such training, reflecting increased cooperation against potential Russian action as tensions escalate with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  • Infiltrating past a U.S. airborne unit, teams must traverse 100 kilometers of Bavarian countryside, shedding military uniforms to blend in with civilians near Amberg, population more than 40,000.
  • If spotted, soldiers face simulated threats from military police, dogs, and drones; one enlisted soldier warned, "now you have the entire Russian arsenal coming at you."
  • Planned to run several times yearly, the exercise is expected to expand across NATO, with military officials anticipating most of the 32 NATO nations will eventually participate.
