The National Guard’s State Partnership Program and Its Role in the National Defense Strategy

The 2022 National Defense Strategy places great emphasis on working with our allies and partners. An often-overlooked tool for building better international relationships is the National Guard’s State Partnership Program (SPP) featuring 87 partnerships with 93 nations around the globe.

There are many such relationships.

You won’t want to miss this event as we discuss how this key program can contribute to America’s security and, as time permits, address other areas of interest involving the National Guard.
