145th Airlift Wing Security Force TSgt. Adam Barringer (left) and Staff Sgt. Eric Stitt (second from right) pose for a picture with their Botswana Defense Force counterparts. North Carolina Air National Guard’s 145th Airlift Wing Security Forces travelled to Botswana, Africa, in late June 2018, to work side-by-side with their Botswana Defense Air Force (BDF).
“I have one overseas deployment to the U.A.E. in 2015, and this is my first SPP mission,” said Staff Sgt. Stitt. “While in Botswana we’d have morning classroom sessions and then move to the airfield to execute what was discussed in class. It was a great experience.”
The Botswana Defense Force and the NC National Guard have been state partners for 10 years conducting over 70 Army and Air Force engagements in Botswana and in North Carolina.
The NC Guard has two state partnerships; Botswana and Moldova. Moldova is a small eastern European country between Ukraine and Romania and has been partners with the NC National Guard for 22 years. (photo courtesy of NCNG public affairs)
