National Guard State Partnership Program: A Whole-of Government Approach

Abstract

The State Partnership Program (SPP), a National Guard (NG) supported initiative, is one of the many successful Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) programs available that the six Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCC) use to meet their objectives. However, has it reached its full potential as a "Whole-of-Government" tool for establishing enduring civil-military relationships while building partnership capacity across all levels of society to promote international stability and security? If not, what recommendations could be made for areas requiring improvements? Before the research questions can be adequately explored and answered, it is essential to present the foundations of the SPP to include exploring its history, goals and objectives, and the benefits achieved by using the program.
