Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

The Illinois Army National Guard is training alongside their partner nation of Poland June 1-15. Five snipers—three from the 2nd Squadron, 106th Cavalry Regiment, and two from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 178th Infantry Regiment—are working with Poland’s Territorial Defense Forces and border guards to enhance advanced marksmanship and patrolling skills. The training is focused on increasing lethality, mobility, and survivability through real-world tactics, including tripod shooting and egress planning. This exchange reflects years of partnership and mutual growth under the State Partnership Program. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Master Sgt. Amber Monio) More
