U.S. Sends Military to the Ukraine to Train Army

The U.S. military announced on Monday March 2, 2015 that they were sending military forces to Ukraine to train Ukraine's National Guard. This is to help with the civil war that is currently going on in the Ukraine. 

Currently the war there is between the Loyalists and the Separatists concerning Russia. It is a bloody war and is currently ripping a country apart at the seems. People are being displaced in this war.

The U.S. will be sending a battalion to help train Ukraine forces by the end of the week. US 173rd Airborne Brigade Commander Michael Foster made the announcement from Washington, he also said that they were not funneling weapons into the war torn country. The US is training them in security, medicine and how to protect themselves in an artillery strike. This is meant to strengthen law enforcement, internal defense, and maintaining the law.    

There is some slight worry form America because the US spent billions of dollars to train Iraqi and Afghanistan forces and much of that money was wasted.
