Oregon are teaching basic first aid

00:14.721 --> 00:16.888
during the United Nations peacekeeping

00:16.888 --> 00:19.110
training exercise , shanti Doot three .

00:19.110 --> 00:21.221
This multinational exercise involving

00:21.221 --> 00:23.166
13 countries is being conducted in

00:23.166 --> 00:25.380
peacekeeping training area 60 km north

00:25.380 --> 00:27.880
of Dhaka Bangladesh . These highly

00:27.880 --> 00:29.991
trained medics not only have a unique

00:29.991 --> 00:32.102
opportunity to educate other soldiers

00:32.102 --> 00:34.158
from around the world , they're also

00:34.158 --> 00:36.213
helping build a relationship between

00:36.213 --> 00:35.990
Oregon and Bangladesh through the

00:35.990 --> 00:38.440
Guards State Partnership program . This

00:38.440 --> 00:40.329
program is designed to let states

00:40.329 --> 00:42.273
facilitate training exchanges with

00:42.273 --> 00:44.329
their partner countries . Soldiers ,

00:44.329 --> 00:46.384
Lieutenant General frank Wyszynski ,

00:46.384 --> 00:48.607
Commanding General U . S . Army pacific

00:48.607 --> 00:50.718
believes the program to be beneficial

00:50.718 --> 00:52.884
and one that's making a difference . I

00:52.884 --> 00:54.829
think it's powerful . I think it's

00:54.829 --> 00:57.730
really credit you Oregon National Guard

00:57.730 --> 00:59.730
that they've taken end the state of

00:59.730 --> 01:02.360
Oregon that they've taken this on uh as

01:02.360 --> 01:04.430
a positive and serious role because

01:04.430 --> 01:06.490
it's making it look like Oregon's

01:06.490 --> 01:08.490
partnership with Bangladesh is only

01:08.490 --> 01:10.546
three years old and is growing every

01:10.546 --> 01:12.768
year . The hope is to allow more Oregon

01:12.768 --> 01:14.934
guardsmen to share their knowledge and

01:14.934 --> 01:17.157
skills with more Bangladeshi soldiers ,

01:17.157 --> 01:19.046
which would benefit both agencies

01:19.046 --> 01:20.990
reporting from Gypsum peacekeeping

01:20.990 --> 01:23.046
trading area near Dhaka Bangladesh .
