🌐🇺🇦A NATO Command is setting up logistics for the transport of Ukrainian soldiers to EU military exercises, as well as for the transport of foreign mercenaries and military advisors to Western Ukraine.‼️

The logistics are overseen by the command of the 39th Transportation Battalion of the 16th Sustainment Brigade (Kaiserslautern, Germany) of the U.S. Department of Defense.
On September 5, the battalion’s command awarded the contract W912PB24R4017 for organizing bus transportation to transport AFU, foreign mercenaries, and NATO military advisors to and from EU countries (Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland) and Ukraine by October 2024. The carrier will have free movement on approved routes. The transportation, personnel, and transported property are not subject to house search and document verification.
According to the transportation plan, the personnel is expected to arrive in Ukraine for training in October 2024 and depart to the following facilities of NATO’s European allied forces:

1. 300 personnel will arrive at the U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder (Baumholder, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) through the Krakowiec-Korczowa checkpoint (66 kilometers northwest of Lviv). The personnel will undergo training according to the program of motorized infantry units.

5. The Jasienka Air Base (Poland, deployed at Rzeszów International Airport) is expected to receive 1250 personnel through the Krakovec-Korczowa checkpoint. The airbase is the main logistic point for transporting weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, as well as deploying and receiving personnel. In October, approximately 1650 personnel will depart from the airbase to Ukraine through the Medyka-Szegyni checkpoint.
6. Approximately 1050 personnel are expected to arrive at the EAGLE Logistics Support Zone in Poland, 650 from Ukraine through the Krakowiec-Korczowa checkpoint, and 400 from the Jasenka Air Base.
