INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 The Indiana National Guard, Oklahoma National Guard and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced a new partnership Nov. 15, 2024, under the Department of Defense National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program.<\/p>\n

The enduring program pairs U.S. states and foreign nations to enhance mutual relationships and promote defense and security cooperation objectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud, honored and excited to join forces with Oklahoma and Saudi Arabia as we forge this new partnership and the opportunity to work alongside our neighbors to the south and overseas in the Middle East,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Dale Lyles, Indiana National Guard adjutant general. \u201cHoosier Guardsmen are dedicated, determined and look forward to strengthening our relationships with our Saudi Arabian partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Guard\u2019s experience in humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and domestic and overseas operations will support U.S. diplomatic, development and security efforts to achieve shared goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cOklahoma is proud to join with Indiana in this partnership with Saudi Arabia,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Mancino, adjutant general for Oklahoma. \u201cThis program helps ensure a lasting relationship that improves the capabilities of the United States for the current and future environment. Oklahoma is uniquely qualified for this partnership, and we look forward to the opportunities it brings to our Soldiers and Airmen, industry, institutions and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment is a testament to improving the lives of its people and increasing its capacity to address security threats in the region.<\/p>\n
