    Michigan Army National Guard and Angola National Army soldiers train together cooperatively during Michigan's Annual Training event at Camp Grayling, Mich., on June 1-15, 2024.

    The 2024 Annual Training event was marked by significant international cooperation, showcasing the importance of global partnerships. Angola National Army soldiers joined the Michigan National Guard for joint exercises. These exercises, which included construction operations, demolition, and command post operations, aimed to strengthen the bonds forged through the State Partnership Program. The collaborative efforts between Angola and Michigan soldiers were a powerful display of international unity and shared military objectives. Additionally, soldiers from Latvia participated in diverse training exercises with the Michigan National Guard, further enhancing mutual readiness and cooperation. These partnerships are crucial for fostering international military cooperation and ensuring collective security.

    The joint exercises with international partners like Latvia and Angola enhance interoperability, ensuring that allied forces can work seamlessly in response to global threats. This collaboration addresses specific security challenges, such as regional instability and the need for a coordinated defense strategy against potential adversaries. The Michigan National Guard is better prepared to operate in diverse environments and support broader national security objectives by training with international partners.
