Latvian Sgt. Maj. Edgars Joksts-Bogdanovs, sergeant major of the Latvian National Armed Forces, discusses his experiences with interoperability to senior leaders of the Michigan National Guard and representatives from the Armed Forces of Liberia and Sierra Leone for a lunch meeting during Motor City '24 in Detroit on Aug. 23, 2024. Latvia and Liberia shared their experiences with Sierra Leone as members of the State Partnership Program (SPP). Sierra Leone will join the SPP with Michigan in September. The topics discussed in the meeting focused on interoperability, strengthening shared values, and the United States' commitment to its partners.
The SPP has been successfully building relationships for over 30 years now and includes 96 partnerships with 106 nations around the globe. SPP links a state’s National Guard with the armed forces or equivalent of a partner country in a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship.
