Lt. Col. Jeffrey LaPierre, the commander of Multinational Battle Group-East’s Southern Command Post and the Connecticut National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment, speaks about Armenia’s valued service and partnership during an Armenian Independence Day ceremony, Sept. 21, 2015, at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo. After Armenia declared its independence from the Soviet Union on Sept. 21, 1991, it established NATO relations by joining the North Atlantic Cooperation Council in 1992 and the Partnership for Peace program in 1994. Armenia first contributed forces to NATO’s Kosovo Force peace support mission in 2004, which it continues today as part of MNBG-E. (U.S. Army photo by Lt. Col.
