Lt.-Col. Kurt Grimsrud, a two-decade CAF veteran from Regina, has been overseeing the more than 300 Canadian personnel leading training efforts across five missions taking place in the United Kingdom and Latvia as well as in Poland.
It’s been what he described as “a pretty incredible mission” for him and his troops, but their minds are never far from those who they are preparing for battle.
The operation’s training based in the U.K. centres around preparing fresh recruits who have just joined Ukraine’s military, and come from varied backgrounds including white-collar workers, an opera singer, and a radio DJ.Article content “We work with them to make sure that we’re providing them the best capabilities to help them be successful in the fights that they’re going to be in,” Grimsrud said.
Since the start of Operation Unifier in 2015, CAF personnel have trained more than 37,000, Ukrainian military and security personnel on battlefield tactics and advanced military skills. Canada’s role hasn’t gone unnoticed with Ukraine’s ambassador to Canada. Yuliya Kovaliv spoke about those efforts in an interview with Postmedia earlier this month.Article content
