The United States Departments of State, Defense, and Energy and
the European Commission participated in a series of field training
exercises with Armenia and Georgia from July 9-12. The exercises used
realistic scenarios to demonstrate and strengthen notification and
response procedures in the event of illicit movement of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD)-related materials.
The Armenian and U.S. Governments collaborate to prevent the illicit
trafficking of WMD, WMD-related items, and advanced conventional
weapons. This week~Rs exercises strengthen this collaboration and build
on existing protocols of the Armenian Government for cross border
communications and coordination procedures for responding to the
detection of the movement of nuclear and other radioactive materials.
These exercises follow on the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul,
Korea, where world leaders, including representatives from Armenia,
reaffirmed commitments to international nuclear security. U.S. and EU
cooperation with Armenia reflects a shared commitment to preventing
nuclear and other WMD-related materials from falling into the hands
of terrorists, smugglers, and proliferators.
