To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

I want everything related to this event. In 2012, russian soldiers trained in US, yet no one has mentioned this since it first happened.
I want to know the details of when these soldiers entered. If and when they left.
What equipment and weapons they brought with them.
How can we verify that all of them left.
Who signed off on permitting this operation to take place.
Why this is not mentioned in the news ever since it happened. This is a significant event in American history, yet few people know about it.
