  "account": "NATO military personnel are now seeking lessons from Ukraine's combat experience in areas such as UAVs, electronic warfare, and intelligence, as Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported. This is unprecedented, as no NATO army has ever fought a modern war. Ukrainian soldiers, who have gained years of combat experience through the use of drones and jamming, are sharing their practical knowledge with NATO officers, thereby reshaping how the alliance plans and trains.\n\nThe seminars held in Lublin, Poland, combined theory with live exercises, placing Ukrainian operational practices against NATO's written doctrine. This exposed the gaps in NATO's assumptions about maneuver, command, and the use of force in a battlefield dominated by technology. Colonel Valerii Vyshnivskyi, Ukraine's senior representative at the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center (JATEC), highlighted the importance of this learning process.\n\nDuring the three-week course, Ukrainian officers imparted their experiences in troop leading procedures for planning company actions and the Military Decision Making Process, techniques used by battalion staff. The Come Back Alive foundation has supported this course since 2022. This collaboration aims to facilitate the exchange of tactical-level lessons between Ukraine's forces and NATO, ensuring that the alliance adapts its strategies to the realities of modern warfare.",
