The Federal Council of Switzerland has decided to participate in the US National Guard's State Partnership Program to enhance defense capabilities through international cooperation. The program, established in the 1990s, aims to strengthen ties and expertise between countries.

Currently, 100 countries, including 25 in Europe, are part of this partnership. The process of joining the program will begin in 2025 if approved by US authorities.

Training exercises with international partners help Switzerland improve its defense capabilities. Cooperation with the US National Guard will support the Swiss Armed Forces in expanding interoperability.

The partnership will build on the existing military training agreement between Switzerland and the US. Both countries have similarities in structure, tasks, and resources, providing a solid foundation for collaboration.

Switzerland will have the opportunity to determine the content and scope of cooperation within the program..
