of
State Partnership Program pairing with Hungary
The Ohio National Guard and Hungary mark the 20th anniversary of their National Guard State Partnership Program pairing with a formal ceremony on Friday, May 17, 2013, in Columbus. Ohio's partnership with Hungary has included numerous military, socio-political and economic exchanges over the past two decades, highlighted by several significant events including Hungary's entry into NATO in 1999, and the successful joint deployment rotations of ONG and Hungarian Defense Forces members to train and advise the emerging Afghan National Army over the past several years.
