CONCORD, N.H. – The New Hampshire National Guard hosted a ceremony in Concord Aug. 2 to commemorate Cabo Verde\u2019s much-anticipated acquisition of a Beechcraft King Air 360ER through the State Partnership Program.<\/p>\n

A memorandum of understanding signed by the West African nation\u2019s minister of defense and the U.S. ambassador to Cabo Verde formalized a three-year plan for the NHNG to help train Cabo Verdean pilots and flight and ground support personnel.<\/p>\n

The agreement will solidify the NHNG\u2019s commitment to the training and assistance package, said Maj. Gen. David Mikolaities, New Hampshire\u2019s adjutant general.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis document sets the conditions for future opportunities and the possibility of one day flying together as partners during multinational exercises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The budding transatlantic connection was made possible through a 31-year-old Department of Defense National Guard Bureau initiative that fosters relationships between a state\u2019s National Guard and a foreign nation\u2019s military. New Hampshire was matched with Cabo Verde in 2021. To date, the program has facilitated about 35 civilian and military exchanges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cooperation between Cape Verde and the United States of America has gone far and it is stronger than ever, revealing our mutual ambition to guarantee defense and security,\u201d said Cabo Verde Minister of Defense Janine L\u00e9lis.<\/p>\n

U.S. Ambassador to Cabo Verde Jennifer Adams credited some of the partnership\u2019s early success to key international similarities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth are small but mighty and clearly capable of doing a lot with a little,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

New Hampshire Army National Guard\u2019s Operational Airlift, Detachment 18, operates a C-12 twin turboprop aircraft similar to the one reserved for Cabo Verde. The unit\u2019s subject matter experts will help Cabo Verde facilitate the plane\u2019s safe operation for medical evacuation, search and rescue, maritime patrol and personnel transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo train with the best is the best thing to do, and we are training with the best,\u201d said Rear Adm. Ant\u00f3nio Monteiro, Cabo Verde chief of defense. \u201cIf you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go farther, go together. So let\u2019s aim to go together.\u201d<\/p>\n
