"It's really what people join the armed forces for, to get out into the world and interact with others," Garner said. He also met with National Guardsmen training Ukrainian troops, including some troops who were deployed to Ukraine immediately before Russia's unprovoked invasion earlier this year. "They see great value in having leaders at the lowest levels in their formations." The visit gave North Carolina Guardsmen a chance to conduct one of their first in-person exchanges since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced almost two years of virtual engagements.

"You can tell the investment the North Carolina Guard has made in the partnership — and the investment Moldova has made in sending their officers to schools in the U.S. — has developed a great relationship," Hokanson said.
