California National Guard enters State Partnership Program with Mexico's Secretariat of National Defense

40th ID, in partnership with Marine Corps, Navy, executes 2026 Annual Training

The 40th Infantry Division, alongside U.S. Marine and Navy elements, executed a multi-domain operation integrating land, maritime, and air assets to demonstrate seamless joint force interoperability during 40th ID's Annual Training June 1-16, 2026. By synchronizing fires, logistics, and maneuver across these domains, the units proved their ability to operate as a unified front. This integrated approach ensures the joint force remains highly agile and postured to deter aggression in contested regions. (U.S. Army National Guard Video by Sgt. 1st Class Santiago G. Colon Jr., Sgt. William Espinosa and Staff Sgt. Joaquin Vasquez Duran. The music was AI Generated.)
