Maj. Stephen Young, the J6 plans/policy officer for the Kentucky National Guard’s Directorate of Information Management (left), presents a coin to Djiboutian Armed Forces Capt. Elmi Moussa, of Bataillon d’Intervention Rapide. The two leaders met Aug. 15-17 as part of Kentucky’s State Partnership Program with Djibouti. “We have shared good information on both sides,” Young said. “There’s a sense of pride and accomplishment on both sides of this mission. I could not be more proud of our Kentucky troops and the BIR.” (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Capt. Cassandra Mullins)
