A bill to provide for modifications to the State Partnership Program selection analysis.

Sponsored By: Senator Rounds, Mike [R-SD]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would change how the State Partnership Program picks new pairings by requiring the selection process to prioritize states with only one active assigned country. It would direct the Secretary of Defense to update Department of Defense Instruction 5111.20 so the Chief of the National Guard Bureau must consider a state's number of current partnerships when doing future selection analyses.

Show full summary
  • States' National Guards: States that have only one active partner would get preference in future selection decisions, raising their chance of receiving a new partnership.
  • States with multiple partnerships: States already paired with more than one country would be deprioritized for additional partner assignments.
  • Partner countries: New partner countries would more often be matched with states that have fewer existing partnerships, widening how partnerships are distributed.
  • Department of Defense and National Guard Bureau: The Secretary of Defense would be required to modify the DoD instruction and implement the new prioritization and consideration rules.
