Arizona National Guard competitors pose for a photo with the Kazakhstan competitors and sergeant majors following the closing ceremony of the Region VII Best Warrior Competition in Santa Fe, New Mexico, April 30, 2026. Established in 1993, the Arizona and Republic of Kazakhstan partnership is one of the original 13 and has been successfully growing for more than 30 years. Inviting State Partnership Program forces to participate in competitions such as the Best Warrior Competition provides a direct opportunity for U.S. and partner forces to train alongside each other and exchange skills and tactics to create stronger forces.
