This is already known information. They are the inspectors assigned to account for the equipment and supplies sent to Ukraine.

"U.S. military inspectors in Ukraine to keep further track of weapons and equipment". Oct. 31, 2022. Courtney Kube and Phil McCausland. NBC. link.

"The inspectors appear to be among the first U.S. military members to officially enter Ukraine since Russia invaded. Their work comes to light as concerns rise about the possibility of U.S. weapons arriving on the black market."
"Ten Myths about US Aid to Ukraine ". October 20, 2022. Luke Coffey. Hudson Institute. Link.

"Myth 1: There is not enough oversight of US aid to Ukraine."

"Reality: There has likely never been more accountability or transparency measures in place for US foreign assistance than what is available for Ukraine aid. Take the biggest (and most controversial) supplemental from last May, which allocated $40.1 billion. This bill was 699 lines long. Of these, 110 lines dealt with accountability, transparency, and reporting requirements. Therefore, 16 percent of the bill's text was dedicated to oversight."

All of Congress's legislated appropriations have extensive accounting requirements. Someone has to be on the ground in Ukraine processing the delivered equipment. A GAO desk jockey from Washington DC is not going to be in Kyiv for this. No James Bond, more like a militarized FedEx and truck stop.

23. You are talking about MDTs, Military Delivery Teams, used in Vietnam and Cambodia by the U.S. Helped make sure that aid got to those it was intended for.

Glad to see that you have done some research on the subject for us.
