In 2023, more than forty participants from 7 countries, United States, Canada, France, Ukraine, Georgia, Spain and Armenia gathered under the banner AANSI: THE ARMENIAN AMERICAN INSTITUTE NATIONAL SECURITY.
This year’s training will take place in the picturesque Aragats, Armenia from August 19 through 22, 2024. (A cultural program and tours will also be presented.)
The objective of this mission is to build with the Armenian Diaspora a culture of physical deployment in Armenia in times of national emergency: natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, massive fires or man-made disasters such as the war.
The driving force behind this noble idea is to create a doctrine throughout the Diaspora and Homeland, being ready for physical deployment from all corners of the Diaspora “within 96 hours of notification by the Armenian authorities when a disaster is declared.
The full program is presented by AANSI Founding Chairman, U.S. Army Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Mark John MacCarley.
