Polish Army Col. Edward Chyla, the Commander of the Polish Territorial Defense Force Training Center, pins the bronze Polish Armed Forces Medal to the uniform of Capt. Drew Weaver of Mahomet, Illinois, on March 25 at the Illinois Army National Guard’s Marseilles Training Center. Weaver is an Illinois State Police Trooper in his civilian life. The Polish Armed Forces Medal is approved by the Polish Minister of National Defence Mariusz Błaszczak. Four Illinois National Guard Soldiers received the medal for their excellent work last May and June with Polish Training Center Soldiers training Polish Territorial Defense Force Soldiers in Poland on mass casualty response and emergency medical care, use of the Javelin anti-tank system, and in sniper operations. Weaver was the officer-in-charge of the sniper training. Prior to the awards presentation, the Polish Soldiers conducted marksmanship training and observed range operations with ILARNG 33rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team Soldiers at Marseilles Training Area. The Polish Soldiers are doing training exchanges throughout the week with the Illinois National Guard.
