YEREVAN— The United States has donated vehicles and specialized equipment worth approximately US$1.4 million to the Border Troops of the National Security Service (NSS) of the Republic of Armenia, according to an official statement from the U.S. Embassy in Armenia.

The official handover ceremony was attended by high-level officials, including U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Security Assistance Programs Shawna Wilson, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires David Allen, and Armenian Border Guard Chief of Staff Colonel Roman Sahakyan.

The security assistance package was provided through the U.S. Department of State’s Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) program. Managed by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, the EXBS initiative partners with nations globally to strengthen strategic trade controls, regulatory frameworks, enforcement training, and interagency cooperation to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and advanced conventional items.

Officials noted that the newly delivered equipment will modernize Armenia’s Border Service, strengthen overall national border security, and improve the safe movement of both people and goods.

"This support reflects the United States' ongoing commitment to strengthening Armenia’s border management capabilities and supporting regional connectivity, including the 'Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity' (TRIPP) project," the U.S. Embassy stated.
