The United States, Finland and Sweden strengthen closer partnerships

Posted on by

The United States European Command hosted high-level military delegations from Finland and Sweden in a military forum to strengthen closer partnerships with both countries. The trilateral forum opened a crucial platform to optimize Finland and Sweden’s military capabilities, and accelerate their integration into NATO’s operational architecture and framework. The event took place in USEUCOM HQ in Germany on October 3, 2024 

“The military forces of our three nations have longstanding relationships operating together in the land, air, sea, space and cyber domains. These relationships have continued to develop after years of exercising together in the extremely harsh, demanding environments of the High North,”  highlighted U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Russell Driggers, U.S. European Command’s Director of Plans, Policy and Strategy, during the forum Oct. 3, 2024 ©USEUCOM

“America’s military relationship with Finland and Sweden not only enhances regional security but also embodies a shared commitment to democratic values and collective defense.”  continued Maj. Gen. Driggers,
