The Ukrainian soldiers early on had a fair few incidents were they would try to steal various things from the PX (smokes, liquor, sandals). That got shut down immediately, but it was a very bad look for not only those soldiers, but their leadership to have Ukrainians who weren't officially even there to be arrested by MPs.

Also the Abrams crews had a recalcitrant problem of thinking the MILES force on force training against our MBTs was rigged and we were cheating to make them look bad. Got bad enough to the point that a platoon wanted to fist fight us at an AAR and their commander had to calm them down (read: yell at them for 15 minutes)

Last thing is the crews had the very eastern-euro, former Warsaw Pact problem of completely shutting down when their CO/platoon leaders die. There wasn't much of any mindset of "continue the mission to the commander's intent"; instead they all start individually doing their own thing with no coordination. The Bradley crews learned and got much better at it, the Abrams crews never did. At least not that I ever saw.

It was good training and a lot of fun though, felt nice to know that we were doing something that actually matters.
