A few days ago, a group of specialists from the US Naval Information Operations Training Command unofficially arrived in Kyiv. It is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia and is headed by Commander John Coupland. (https://rybar.ru/piwigo/upload/2022/11/03/20221103083755-2117c8ed.jpg)
😏 What is this structure?
Command (Information Warfare Training Center - Virginia Beach) located at Dam Neck Training Center on the US East Coast.
This is one of four training facilities administered by the US Navy’s Center for Information Warfare Training.
In turn, the IWTC-VB command is subdivided into four more branches, each of which performs a certain range of tasks: two in the state of Florida, one each in Georgia and Connecticut.
😏 Why did American specialists come to Ukraine?
The main directions of such training centers are the training of specialists in information and psychological operations, electronic intelligence, mechanical engineers of high-tech equipment, as well as signalmen and cryptographers of closed communication systems.
¹One of the possible reasons for sending US information operations specialists to Ukraine may be the installation and configuration of closed satellite communications systems for special forces units and the Ukrainian Center of Information and Psychological Operations (CIPsO).
²However, there is another option, even more likely in the current conditions: the Americans could arrive to train the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the use, maintenance and tactics of using marine unmanned vehicles.
The latest version is supported by the fact that among the staff and instructors of the command there are former and current military personnel of the 1st division of unmanned underwater vehicles as part of the 5th experimental submarine squadron of the US Navy.
They operate on the basis of the Naval Submarine Warfare Center of The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) - one of the five backbone commands of the US Navy, which also includes the command of information operations of the Navy.
It is the specialists of such structures that carry out primary research, development, design, testing of submarines and autonomous vehicles in the interests of the US Armed Forces.
😏 In the context of the active use of new type of marine drones by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which no NATO country has previously demonstrated publicly, the arrival of a reconnaissance team looks quite logical.
And direct control over the testing of autonomous vehicles in a real combat situation is an excellent opportunity for the United States their strengths and weaknesses.
