Eagle Partner 2026 has officially launched, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia said on Wednesday.
Held in Armenia from June 17-25, this fourth annual exercise 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.
