BOWLING GREEN, Ky. \u2013 Logistics officers from the Djiboutian Armed Forces (FAD) visited the 1792nd Combat Support Sustainment Battalion while in Kentucky Aug. 19-22.<\/p>\n

The visit was part of the Department of Defense National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program. Kentucky and Djibouti have been partners in the program since 2015.<\/p>\n

The focus of the engagement was to build relationships between the military members of the two countries\u2019 logisticians and maintainers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event was truly significant for both parties in learning and refining their logistics and maintenance,\u201d said Capt. Wesley Hanna, the incoming bilateral affairs officer for Djibouti. \u201cIt was especially impactful for the FAD representatives as a precursor to the upcoming construction of a new logistics base in Djibouti.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each shared their respective protocols, procedures and lessons learned to support the relationships, maintenance procedures and the KYNG maintenance organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy engaging with KYNG and seeing our techniques in action, the FAD is able to glean what is applicable to their organization in planning for future maintenance and logistics upgrades and refinements,\u201d added Hanna.<\/p>\n

During their visit to Bowing Green, they toured the 1792nd\u2019s Headquarters, their field maintenance shop and the famous Corvette Museum.<\/p>\n

They also visited the Field Maintenance Shop 4 at Boone National Guard Center, the Combined Support Maintenance Shop\u202fin Richmond and the Unit Training Equipment Site at Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe surely keep this relation for long term, as we told Col. Cooper (SPP director), for 100 years and more,\u201d said Lt. Col. Amina Mohamad Moussa, FAD logistics officer. \u201cWe need to learn from your expertise and experience, especially in the logistics domain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Soldiers from Djibouti also thanked the Kentucky Soldiers for their hospitality.<\/p>\n
