The head of the Kansas National Guard will be traveling in Armenia
this week to review the Guard’s partnership with the eastern European
nation.

Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, who leads the Guard in his role as Kansas
adjutant general, will meet with U.S. Embassy staff as well as Armenian
government officials.

Kansas has been linked with Armenia since 2003 under the National
Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program. The Kansas Guard works
closely with the Armenian ministry of defense, ministry of health,
rescue service and other governmental offices and agencies.

Bunting’s visit will focus on biosecurity, agriculture development,
education and law enforcement. Several Kansas officials from
those fields are also making the trip to meet with their Armenian
counterparts, AP reports.
