# Angola, Ohio National Guard strengthen enduring partnership through State Partnership Program at ACHOD 2026 (1016099)

Senior military leaders from the Republic of Angola, the Ohio National Guard and U.S. Africa Command opened a new chapter in U.S.-Africa security cooperation during the State Partnership Program Adjutants General Conference and formal partnership signing ceremony June 29, 2026, ahead of the 2026 African Chiefs of Defense Conference in Luanda, Angola. The conference brought together National Guard adjutants general, African military leaders and U.S. Africa Command officials to align the SPP with broader theater security objectives before ACHOD officially began. Chiefs of Defense and representatives from more than 35 countries as well as U.S. and partner military leaders gathered for the 2026 African Chiefs of Defense Conference. ACHOD served as the key forum for senior military officials to address shared security threats, enhance regional stability, and discuss collaborative frameworks that enable long-term investment and economic growth across the continent.
