In a significant move towards bolstering military cooperation, Armenia has invited U.S. troops to participate in the upcoming “Eagle Partner 2024” military exercises. Scheduled to take place later this year, these exercises aim to enhance interoperability and strengthen defense ties between the two nations.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense announced that the inclusion of U.S. forces underscores a commitment to deepening strategic partnerships and addressing regional security challenges. This joint exercise is expected to focus on various aspects of military operations, including combat readiness, tactical coordination, and crisis response.
Armenia’s invitation aligns with its broader efforts to diversify military collaborations beyond traditional partnerships, reflecting a growing alignment with Western defense frameworks. The participation of U.S. troops marks a notable development in the evolving defense landscape of the region.
