State Partnership Program

Since 1994, the Georgia National Guard has been a key participant in the Department of War's State Partnership Program, building robust international relationships. The State Partnership Program evolved from a 1991 effort to establish mutual training contact programs between former Soviet-Bloc nations and National Guard states. The SPP has become a model for cooperation across all aspects of military and civil affairs in nearly 120 countries worldwide.  

The program pairs the Georgia Guard with two partner nations: the country of Georgia since 1994 and the Republic of Argentina since 2016. The partnership with Georgia is one of the oldest in the program, marked by decades of joint training exercises like Noble Partner and Agile Spirit, which enhance military interoperability between the two forces.  The relationship with Argentina is focused on cooperative engagements in vital areas such as disaster response, border security, and cyber defense, strengthening the capabilities of both partners.
