 Day 5 of exercise, Rapid Trident brought together commanders from several of the visiting countries. Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Jeffrey Payet, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, were among the guests. The guests visited a CPX portion of Rapid Trident before going to an IED demonstration. Next, they went to a lane showcasing some medical training as well as some defensive tactics being taught during the exercise. I am so proud to see the progress that Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and the soldiers have made to give Ukraine the capability to defend itself. To see senior leaders and soldiers from so many other countries that are here to be a part of this exercise is a powerful signal that we want to continue to work with Ukraine. Well, first of all, let me say what an honor it is for me to be here today with General Hodges, and I'm extremely proud that the United States has been one of multiple international partners that has helped to reinforce and accelerate this process of reform and transformation. Reporting from Yalvariv, Ukraine, I'm Army Sergeant Jackie McKnight.
