"We all come from this legacy," Gen. William E. Ward, commander of U.S. Africa Command, told attendees at the USEUCOM Adjutants General State Partnership Program Conference at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on May 7, 2007, as he stood in front of Don Troiani's painting of the First Muster of 1637, the foundation of the National Guard. Ward said that the only way he can tell the difference between a National Guard Citizen-Soldier and an active Army Soldier in combat zones is by the state patch Guard members wear on their left shoulder. He also said that the National Guard's State Partnership Program is vital to his mission. The SPP began in USEUCOM. The SPP fosters cooperation via military, socio-political and economic conduits at local, state and national levels.
