A U.S.-maintained no-fly zone over Ukraine would not have made a difference in a Russian attack that reportedly killed dozens of people at a military training center near Ukraine's border with NATO neighbor Poland, Pentagon officials said Monday.
As the situation intensifies between Russia and Ukraine, the United States has ordered its troops, including ‘Task Force Gator’ to get out, in case of a Russian invasion.
The deployment of the Guard’s 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, known as Task Force Gator, began in November last year with a hand-off ceremony from the Washington Guard under an early snow.
