๐๐ - โNoahโ is a Marine veteran working as an instructor with Trident Defense Initiative teaching infantry tactics to those who come to TDI for additional training prior to being sent to their respective areas of operation.
โNoahโ served as an 0311 with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. โDonโt worry, it wasnโt my company that lost the rifles.โ He said while laughing.
His reference was to an incident aboard Camp Lejeune that went viral of two Marines losing their service rifles while in a training exercise. The story was memed and passed around the military community online.
โIโve been here for 5-6 months by now, Iโm enjoying it here and while doing something good Iโm also getting something out of this that I was never going to get out of the Marine Corps. I enjoy what Iโm doing but I have a friend coming out soon who will replace me and Iโll go to an actual unit. Iโve got a few connections here and there in a unit that Iโd like to pursue once Iโm replaced.โ
As we spoke with Noah Ukrainian soldiers maneuvered from the wood line assaulting forward while a secondary element flanked a house that was occupied by other soldiers who were the OPFOR.
A few arty simulators and firecrackers went off as the exercise carried out, Noahโs cadre moving with the assault element.
Noah is one of many prior US Marines who have come to Ukraine since the Russian invasion. They work primarily in three roles; instructors with training groups, direct fighting groups or Ukrainian units and with non-profit organizations working in a humanitarian capacity.
