YEREVAN, JUNE 18, ARMENPRESS: 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, reports Armenpress citing Nebraska TV. 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,
says 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'll also visit the
Officer Candidate School at the 235th Training Regiment.
