Armenia will host first-ever joint military exercises with the United States next week, the country’s Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday.

The “Eagle Partner 2023" exercise will be held from 11 to 20 September and will involve “stabilization tasks between conflicting parties during peacekeeping mission.”

“The purpose of the drills is to increase the level of interoperability of the unit participating in international peacekeeping missions within the framework of peacekeeping operations, to exchange best practices in control and tactical communication, as well as to increase the readiness of the Armenian unit for the planned NATO/PfP Operational Capabilities Concept evaluation,” the ministry said.

“Within the framework of preparation for peacekeeping missions, units preparing for international peacekeeping operations frequently participate in similar joint exercises and trainings in partner countries,” it added.
