The Washington Times - Friday, February 17, 2023
The first group of Ukrainian soldiers completed training this week on the U.S.-supplied M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle at the Army’s Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany, U.S. military officials said Friday.
...
More than 630 Ukrainian soldiers completed the five-week training program on how to operate the M2 Bradley in combat. The instructions also included basic soldier tasks such as marksmanship and medical training and a final battalion-level force-on-force exercise, Pentagon officials said Friday.
...
More battalion-level combined arms training classes are already underway at the Grafenwoehr Training Area. Another Ukrainian battalion began training on the M2 Bradley before the first group graduated, military officials said.
American troops are also training Ukrainian artillery soldiers on the M109 Paladin howitzer. Next week, an infantry battalion will receive instructions on the M1126 Stryker, officials said.

I'm thinking April/May is when we see the US gear (Bradley/Stryker/M109 Paladin) enter major combat -- right now we're training the trainers, who will in turn train more people themselves...
