In Episode 4 of "Fix Bayonets," we take you inside the 30-year partnership between the Kentucky National Guard and Ecuador.
Join host Sgt. 1st Class Clay Benningfield as he speaks with Ecuadorian Air Force Lt. Col. Brian Flores and U.S. Air Force Capt. Jason Sanderson about the history and significance of this enduring relationship, managed by the National Guard Bureau as part of the Department of War's State Partnership Program (SPP).
Discover how this powerful collaboration has fostered shared experiences and built strong bonds between the two forces. The discussion will delve into the exciting opportunities available through the SPP, including subject matter expertise exchanges in a wide range of fields.
