The Department of Defense’s State Partnership Program pairs the National Guard of a U.S. state or territory with a partner nation’s military, security forces, and government agencies responsible for emergency response and disaster response and began in 1993 with 13 partners.
The Minnesota Guard has shared a partnership with Croatia for 27 years, and Norway will become another partner through this program. (Minnesota National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Luther Talks)
