    The Kansas National Guard is working on building a relationship
    with Armenia.

    Major General Tod Bunting just finished touring Armenia. The Adjutant
    General recently returned and talked about his trip and working with
    the country.

    He also displayed several artifacts from the trip.

    While there, members of the National Guard worked with Armenian police,
    talked about agricultural issues, and how Kansas and Armenia handle
    emergencies.

    "The biggest amount of training we've done on the civilian side
    has been in emergency management, because Armenians had one of
    the worst disasters in a long time in 1988 with the earthquake,"
    says Bunting. "That's why they're the only country besides the United
    States to have an expeditiary medical system, so they have a portable
    means to take medical to the scene."

    The partnership between the Kansas National Guard and Armenia dates
    back to 2006.
