JMTG-U is the name for the training mission being conducted by U.S. Forces in support of Ukraine.

The U.S. will continue training and advising Ukrainian security forces until 2020, and JMTG-U will oversee defensive and security training for up to five battalions of Ministry of Defense forces per year.
