At the invitation of the Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Milan Mojsilovic, the newly appointed Commander of the Ohio National Guard, Brigadier General Matthew Woodruff, is paying his first official visit to Belgrade.

General Woodruff began his stay in Serbia with a visit to the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, where he discussed with General Mojsilovic the current security situation in the region and the world, as well as the priorities and perspectives of cooperation between the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ohio National Guard, according to the official website of the Serbian Armed Forces.

As further emphasized, “with a review of the results of joint activities, which have been carried out within the framework of the State Partnership Program for almost two decades, it was assessed that these activities are intensive and substantive, contributing both to raising the level of operational capabilities of the armed forces and to strengthening the overall relations between Serbia and the United States of America.”

“It was confirmed that there is a shared commitment to the continuation of cooperation in all areas of mutual interest, primarily in the fields of training and exercises and the development of the capabilities of air forces, engineering units, and cyber defense forces. In the continuation of his visit, General Woodruff will be received by the Supreme Commander of the Serbian Armed Forces and President Aleksandar Vucic, and separate meetings are also planned with Minister of Defense Bratislav Gasic and Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Djuric. During his stay in Serbia, the Commander of the Ohio National Guard will attend the celebration of America Day in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, the ceremony marking the 81st anniversary of the Halyard Mission in the village of Pranjani near Gornji Milanovac, as well as the military parade ‘Power of Unity,’” the Serbian Armed Forces website reports.
