Maj. Gen. Elizabeth Michelsen, Chief of the Norwegian Home Guard, reads the Letter of Intent for Norway and the Minnesota to become official partners in the State Partnership Program during a signing ceremony at the Minnesota State Capitol on Feb. 4, 2023, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The official State Partnership Program signing ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 15 in Trondheim, Norway.

The Department of Defense’s State Partnership Program pairs the National Guard of a U.S. state or territory with a partner nation’s military, security forces, and government agencies responsible for emergency response and disaster response and began in 1993 with 13 partners.

The Minnesota Guard has shared a partnership with Croatia for 27 years, and Norway will become another partner through this program.
