Soldiers from CFB Shilo departing for the U.K. to train Ukrainian soldiers say the biggest challenge may be language barriers. They've been told roughly 10 per cent of the Ukrainians have fluent English skills and 30 per cent have passable skills.
Since the operation began, the Canadian Armed Forces have trained more than 35,000 Ukrainian military and security personnel in battlefield tactics and military skills.
"This takes people who are a resource there, and turns them into more effective fighters to defend their home," Register said. It can be hard to say how the training will go, Register said, until they actually get on the ground and start doing it. Before being posted to Shilo, Hawman spent four years at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in New Brunswick. Hawman said he will use his experience as a teacher there while in England.
