US to deploy National Coast guards in Zambia and Malawi in a new deal
Join the National Guard — see the world!
[Garowe] The United States, Zambia, and Malawi have announced a Joint State Partnership Program that will strengthen disaster response and security cooperation between the United States and each country.

This State Partnership Program links US National Guard units from a specific US state with partner nations’ security forces and disaster response organizations in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

The State Partnership Program, which has been in existence for 30 years, includes partnerships between countries around the world with National Guard units from all 54 U.S. states and territories. Among the 100 State Partnership Programs globally, 16 are with African countries, including regional neighbors South Africa and Botswana. On average, only two new State Partnerships are added each year; the addition of these countries reflects the strength of the U.S. relationships with both Zambia and Malawi.

In this new arrangement, US National Guard units plan to conduct several joint activities each year with both Zambia and Malawi in support of shared security goals.

These activities go beyond traditional military-to-military engagements and may include emergency management and disaster response exercises; border and port security programs; leadership and officer development; medical capacity-building; economic security strengthening; natural resource protection; peacekeeping operations; and counter-trafficking counter-proliferation, and counter-terrorism support.

A key component of the State Partnership Program is improving disaster response capabilities. For example, when Cyclone Freddy tore through the region last month, Zambia and Malawi worked together on search and rescue and disaster response in the aftermath of the storm. Moving forward, the State Partnership Program will enable both countries to work in partnership with National Guard units to further enhance those disaster response capabilities.

The goal of a State Partnership Program is to develop and maintain important security relationships between the United States and other nations sharing common interests. A State Partnership Program is a long-term partnership that lasts for decades and increases the readiness of US and partner forces to meet emerging challenges.

Members of US state national guards are overwhelmingly reservists with full-time civilian professions, and the State Partnership Program has often been an avenue to spur strong people-to-people relations well beyond the realm of security.

#1 This State Partnership Program links US National Guard units from a specific US state with partner nations’ security forces and disaster response organizations in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

'Partner Nations' programs, MIC business development or globalist nocturnal emissions? You decide.

We come in peace. Fok with us and the money and materials we have promised at ENDEX will be sent elsewhere.

Just as a point of order, oftentimes these missions are comprised of volunteers from various non-associated units. Care to guess who also finds their way into these short-term deployments ?

#2 The very idea of AMERICA 1st , must scare the hell out of the LSD Coup.

It should be clear by now, AMERICA 1st is needed now before another worthless $$ Billion dollars is virtually created and spent outside the USA.

Because, strangely enough, too much of this foreign aid money is seeping back to DC and their families pockets.

I guess that's why the DC Swamp Coup tried to Impeach, Jail, Rigged elections, used DOJ/_ _ _ agencies, their media, and various DA's to set TRUMP up and try to put him in prison, before he can fairly run against the clueless mindless wonder they installed.

#3 Another State Department program to waste DoD monies and personnel. After Afghanistan and the Sudan, maybe they should spend more of their time practicing NEO with the military that has to rescue them.

#4 /\ Amen and Amen on the NEO. I doubt DoD ends up being 'money out of pocket' for any of this skullduggery.

(Important Diplodicks get Neo'd and gummit ride home. Everyone else, well dumbfok, you're on your own. Have a nice day.)

#6 Malawi is landlocked but its Malawi Lake faces Mozambique, and Mozambique is in trouble as Islamist forces are everywhere in the north.

#7 It’s gotta suck to have your guard unit partnered in such a way as to garner you two weeks in African annually.

#8 This is nuts! Another Puppet Show, Afro-Centric wet dream that will do nothing except waste time and money, and will further enmesh our rapidly declining military in DEI themed nonsense.
