EP 74: Potential Combined Arms Training (Infantry & Artillery) for Ukraine by US + Germany to Provide Unmanned Ground Vehicles to Ukraine + Poland Continues Modernization Efforts + US FY23 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

EP 74 is the 2d episode within 24 hours. Just getting to stories that I could not get to in EP 73. Two good stories from The Defense Post- one concerning possible combined arms training provided by the US (in Germany)- and the 2d discusses Unmanned Ground Vehicles that will be provided by Germany to Ukraine for the purposes of Route Clearance & Casualty Evacuation. Finally, we (try to) discuss defense funding- first with Poland's modernization efforts and then- the ever contentious US National Defense Authorization Act (and subsequent Appropriations Bill).
