What's the Big Deal:
💪The National Guard's State
Partnership Program (SPP) marks a momentous milestone, commemorating 30 years
of successful engagements, exercises, and support to nations worldwide.
Originally starting with just 13 countries, the program has now expanded to
encompass over 100 nations, making it a cornerstone of U.S. strategy to engage
with allies and partners. 🌐 The SPP builds enduring relationships,
fostering trust and shared experiences between Guardsmen and their
counterparts. These connections have facilitated joint training, humanitarian
assistance, and disaster response efforts. Remarkably, the program's budget
constitutes only 1% of the nation's security cooperation budget but generates 20
to 30% of combatant commands' touch points or engagements, proving its
efficiency in promoting global peace, stability, and prosperity.
