Creating Partners and Allies-The National Guard Leading the Way

Abstract

In an unstable world, the quality and quantity of alliances and partners the United States maintains are paramount for an effective collective security. One method of generating new partnerships and maintaining current ones is through the State Partnership Program (SPP). The SPP is a program that partners Army National Guard and Air National Guard units from all over the United States and its territories with nations across the globe. These efforts produce trusting, stable, long-term relationships and more capable forces. The SPP produces a considerable return on investment based on the relatively small portion of the defense budget invested in it. The Department of Defense should expand the SPP.
