The Florida National Guard troops ordered out of Ukraine over the weekend are now in Germany.
The U.S. European Command confirmed with News4JAX that the 160 soldiers relocated to Grafenwoehr Training Area in Bavaria. It’s the Army’s largest permanent training area in Europe, which supports U.S. and NATO live fire and maneuver training and qualifications.
The Florida National Guard soldiers had been in Ukraine since November as part of Joint National Training Group-Ukraine.
European Command told News4JAX that the guard members will remain at Grafenwoehr preparing for their training to resume with Ukrainian Armed Forces along with any other missions that are assigned.
Unless someone was lying to the local Jacksonville, Florida TV station, the Florida troops were safely in Germany 10 days before Putin invaded Ukraine.
