Two top military officers from the republic of Armenia are in Kansas
this week to meet with senior National Guard leaders in Topeka and
observe training in Salina.
The visit comes as Armenia's military transitions from a conscripted
force to one with a professional noncommissioned officer corps. The
Kansas National Guard has been joined with the former Soviet republic
in a partnership program since 2003.
The program's director, Lt. Col. Brent Salmans, said the Armenian
delegation will receive briefings in Topeka on the roles and
responsibilities of noncommissioned staff officers.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Armenians will observe operations
at the Great Plains Joint Training Center in Salina. They also will
visit the Officer Candidate School at the 235th Training Regiment.
