 And now, for your strong Europe spotlight. The enduring relationships between the United States' European Command's National Guard State partners and partner nations are critical to preserving NATO and partner nation capabilities and interoperability with the United States. UCOM leadership, state agit and generals, and their European counterparts recently met in Garmisch, Germany to discuss key issues affecting the state partnership program. Together we can leverage the full breadth and range of our military and interagency capabilities while freely exchanging ideas in shared pursuit of security, stability, and prosperity. And this is why SPP is such a key component to our strategic approach. The state partnership program has been successfully building relationships for over 20 years, and those enduring partnerships are vital to continued success. We're not coming in cold to really their background, to their thinking and their concerns because I have a level of understanding. But that's important.
