Kentucky National Guard, Djibouti Demining Company train as part of State Partnership Program

Kentucky National Guard engineers and Djiboutian demining soldiers pose for a photo after completing a bomb suit training exercise on Aug. 24, 2021, in Djibouti City, Djibouti. The demining unit was established in 2001 to ensure that Djibouti could become mine-free after years of civil war throughout the 1990s, a goal that was achieved in 2003. Eighteen years later, mines remain a threat in the surrounding region.
