Troops participating in Eagle Partner 26 military drills in Armenia on Jun. 17
The Eagle Partner 2026 joint military exercises, with the participation of troops from the United States, France and Greece, officially kicked off in Armenia on Thursday, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia said on Wednesday.
The exercises are to continue through June 25 and are the fourth annual such drills that builds on longstanding U.S.-Armenia defense cooperation and supports preparation for international peacekeeping operations, the embassy said.
This year, Eagle Partner expands with the participation of service members from the Armed Forces of the French Republic and the Hellenic Republic, alongside the Armenian Armed Forces Peacekeeping Brigade, U.S. Army Europe and Africa, and the Kansas National Guard.
Through joint multilateral training, Eagle Partner 2026 strengthens interoperability, supports the exchange of best practices, and enhances peacekeeping readiness.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense earlier reported that the military exercises will involve 250 servicemen from the Armenian Armed Forces Peacekeeping Brigade, alongside 58 personnel from U.S. Army Europe and Africa and the Kansas National Guard, 24 from the French Armed Forces, and 11 from the Hellenic Armed Forces.
