On the territory of Poland, training of personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues at training centres within the framework of the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine), coordinated by the Combined Arms Training Command (CAT-C).
Last week, several training modules were completed, culminating in comprehensive qualification assessments.
One of the key areas of instruction remains Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). The training focuses on practicing casualty care procedures in combat conditions and increasing personnel survivability through the timely management of the three main potentially reversible causes of death on the battlefield: massive extremity hemorrhage, tension pneumothorax, and airway obstruction.
Training also continues for technical personnel and crews of Leopard main battle tanks and Bergepanzer armoured recovery vehicles. Course participants are enhancing their knowledge and practical skills related to the operation, employment, and maintenance of military equipment.
The training programme covers logistical and technical support for armoured units, including the safe operation of equipment, diagnostics, technical support procedures, and maintaining operational readiness during both routine activities and assigned missions.
Joint training conducted with the participation of international partners contributes to enhancing the professional capabilities of Ukrainian service members, improving interoperability with partner nations’ armed forces, and implementing modern approaches to military training.
