David Mikolaities on Feb. 16, 2024, during the latest international State Partnership Program exchange in San Salvador. The framed article features Merino’s son, Teniente Rodrigo Merino, whose squad of five lieutenants from the Salvadoran navy, artillery and infantry took first place in the team competition of the 2023 New Hampshire National Guard Combat Marksmanship Match held Sept. 6 to 8, 2023, at Fort Devens, Mass. Key leaders met at the Ministry of Defense to discuss current and future engagements and to reaffirm a commitment to the SPP. The latest visit features an exchange between Guard and Salvadoran military Humvee mechanics and a KC-46 flyover at the Ilopango Air Show, featuring a performance by the 39th Army Band.
