U.S. Army Central   

FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- Third Army/U.S. Army Central hosted a delegation of soldiers from the Kazakhstan national army May 31 to June 1 for an information exchange here. The two-day program was part of a week-long trip in which the Kazakhstani military policemen received an inside look at how the U.S. Army operates and utilizes MP forces in today's global struggle against violence.

The exchange and lessons learned from the trip will assist the Kazakhstani army as they continue to revamp their own MP Corps.

The visit is part of the continued effort led by Third Army/USARCENT's civil-military affairs Theater Security Cooperation program that hosts foreign soldiers and sends U.S. Soldiers to participating countries in the Third Army area of responsibility to interface and exchange ideas with their counterparts.
