At this NATO training camp, the aim is to train the Ukrainians who can then turn around and train everyone else

Western training for Ukrainian soldiers in Poland is focusing on specialized and leadership skills that soldiers can disseminate when they return to the battlefield.

The idea is that they can spread what they learn to many more troops back home.

It focuses Western training on areas where allies believe they can add the most value.

New Western training for Ukrainian troops on NATO soil isn't taking in large numbers of soldiers, but is instead focusing on leaders and specialists who can spread what they learn throughout Ukraine's military.

The Norway-led Operation Legio trains Ukrainian soldiers with help from allies at a purpose-built camp in eastern Poland, called Camp Jomsborg.

Rather than basic recruits, the training is primarily focused on preparing specialists, instructors, and leaders, including section leaders and platoon and company commanders.

Many already have combat experience.

"The capacity in Jomsborg is limited," Brigadier Atle Molde, the commander of Task Force Legio, told Business Insider.

He said that using that capacity to train leaders on different levels helps to maximize the impact.

A "well-trained instructor can go back and teach 10, 20 soldiers of his own for maybe four or five times a year," he added.

"So the overall effect will be better if we focus on training the specialists in Jomsborg and not necessarily basic recruit training." Soldiers at Camp Jomsborg are preparing to better fight Russia's invasion.

John, the S3 Operations Officer in charge of synchronizing the training operation, told Business Insider that Ukraine can train far more of its own troops, and in some areas, such as drone warfare , it is better prepared to train its own soldiers.
