00:00.542 --> 00:02.520
(slow music)

00:02.520 --> 00:04.760
- The importance of
State Partnership Program

00:04.760 --> 00:07.000
is to build relationships

00:07.000 --> 00:09.450
and also to build readiness.

00:09.450 --> 00:12.130
And to help our partners

00:12.130 --> 00:15.150
to build capability and capacities.

00:15.150 --> 00:18.530
Really also build our readiness as well,

00:18.530 --> 00:21.030
our global citizenship if you will,

00:21.030 --> 00:23.077
because we have the opportunity to travel

00:23.077 --> 00:26.160
around the world to work in very difficult

00:26.160 --> 00:28.366
and challenging environment.

00:28.366 --> 00:30.450
(slow music)

00:30.450 --> 00:32.800
- We have partnership with Michigan

00:32.800 --> 00:33.960
and is important for us

00:33.960 --> 00:35.410
because they help us to build

00:35.410 --> 00:37.480
our military capabilities

00:37.480 --> 00:40.405
through training and logistic means.

00:40.405 --> 00:41.840
(slow music)

00:41.840 --> 00:43.840
- The experiences that was
gained through this missions

00:43.840 --> 00:45.820
with this countries is invaluable.

00:45.820 --> 00:47.220
Cause we don't always get an opportunity

00:47.220 --> 00:49.440
to send new troops to deployments,

00:49.440 --> 00:50.563
to combat missions.

00:51.490 --> 00:54.010
- We've been with Senegal for 12 years

00:54.010 --> 00:55.830
and it's been a great partnership for us

00:55.830 --> 00:57.266
because it's mutually beneficial.

00:57.266 --> 01:00.650
So it helps both organizations,

01:00.650 --> 01:02.915
both militaries build readiness.

01:02.915 --> 01:05.040
And that probably is the key take away

01:05.040 --> 01:07.420
for me at every level.

01:07.420 --> 01:09.830
So if you look at NCO development

01:09.830 --> 01:12.210
MOS training, collective training,

01:12.210 --> 01:13.690
medical readiness exercises.

01:13.690 --> 01:15.682
There's so many things that we touch

01:15.682 --> 01:17.910
in this partnership.

01:17.910 --> 01:19.910
That's where I see the greatest benefit.
