YEREVAN — US Ambassador to Armenia Ambassador Kristina Kvien joined Major General James Kriesel of U.S. European Command, Brigadier General Anthony Mohatt of the Kansas Army National Guard, and Brigadier General Andrew Saslav of U.S. Army Europe and Africa in observing the Eagle Partner-24 exercise in Armenia.
The generals and Ambassador Kvien visited a training ground outside Yerevan where U.S. and Armenian soldiers have been practicing a joint peacekeeping operation.
They were joined by Armenian Deputy Defense Minister Arman Sargsgan. They met with U.S. and Armenian officers leading the Eagle Partner 2024 exercise that will end on Wednesday.
“The exercise, which started on July 15, builds on longstanding U.S.-Armenia defense cooperation related to preparation for international peacekeeping operations,” the embassy said in a short statement posted on its Facebook page.
On Monday, EUCOM released a short video of U.S. soldiers jumping out of an armored vehicle to simulate a gunfight during the drills. “This training highlights the strong partnership between the U.S. and Armenia, enhancing our collective readiness and interoperability,” it wrote.
