Stretchingfrom San Diego to Sonoma, the 21 missions of Alta California are storied reminders of California and our nation's past. Few regions of the world have such a physical, visual timeline of a nation's growth and development.

In 1769, under order of the Spanish king, sea and land expeditions departed Mexico for California, meeting in San Diego where the first fort and mission were established to serve as frontier outposts. The King sent military troops and Franciscan missionaries to the new land to colonize the territory and convert its Indian inhabitants to Christianity.

Over 54 years, four forts, or presidios, and twenty-one missions were founded along the California coast. Some of these sites eventually evolved into the state's major cities, including San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Jose and San Francisco.

Founding of the California missions began seven years before the American Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and ended 25 years before gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848. Mission expansion came to an end in 1823, when mission bells rang in Sonoma.

The California Missions Foundation was created in 1998 as the only organization dedicated to restoring and protecting all 21 mission structures and their contents, with the goal of preserving California's rich history.

FAS-sponsored international trade missions open doors and deliver results for U.S. exporters, giving them the opportunity to forge relationships with potential customers, gather market intelligence, and, most importantly, generate sales.

Trade missions are led by U.S. Department of Commerce industry experts and designed for U.S. businesses who will travel to target countries. Each year, numerous U.S. companies participate in U.S. Department of Commerce-organized trade missions.

These missions can save companies valuable time and resources by maximizing contact with prospective distributors, sales representatives, or partners. Face-to-face meetings, especially when facilitated by senior U.S. government officials, can make a good impression with foreign buyers.

The International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, manages this global trade site to provide access to ITA information on promoting trade and investment, strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. industry, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements.

The four mission churches are active parishes open to the public daily between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. except during private church ceremonies. For Mass times and hours of operation see www.lasmisiones.org

Each mission was a complex that included a church, sleeping quarters for the families, residences for the priests, a variety of other buildings such as workshops, warehouses and granaries, as well as farm fields, ranchlands, and irrigation systems.

Each current existing mission was built three miles from the next, and all are close to the San Antonio River. From the river to the missions, irrigation channels were dug. Called acequias, the ditches were based on Spanish design that was derived from the technology of Rome and the Arabian Peninsula.

The missions continued for 60-100 years. Spanish officials secularized the Alamo in 1793. Over the next 31 years, the remaining four missions became secularized. The churches became the property of local Catholic clergy and the mission lands were either sold or divided among those who lived and worked there. The full secularization of the San Antonio Missions completed in 1824.

Mission San Jos de Tumaccori was established in 1691, making it the oldest Jesuit mission site in Southern Arizona and about a year older than its neighbor to the north, San Xavier. Similar to San Xavier, the Tumaccori mission exists today in a slightly different location from where it was founded. Some of the native people of the area rebelled against the mission and its accompanying Spanish settlers in 1751, the Jesuits were banned from the region by the Spanish king in 1767, and by 1786, two neighboring missions - Calabazas and Guevavi - were abandoned (the remains of those missions are not open to the public, but can be seen in limited reserved tours).

Around 1800, plans were made to build a large church on the east side of the Santa Cruz River, but construction was slow-going for a variety of reasons and by 1848, the mission was abandoned, falling into disrepair. In 1908, restoration and preservation began when the site was named a national monument by President Teddy Roosevelt.

Now, the remains of what Father Kino started here tell a story of strife, rebirth, faith, and life in the Pimeria Alta; this is also true at San Xavier. Visitors of all ages will take away something from either or both of these Southern Arizona landmarks, from simply being awestruck by fact that these buildings still remain, to a better understanding of the conflict that comes when one culture in all its complexity attempts to influence another with its own diverse set of traditions and understandings, a story that still continues today.

Following Kosovo's declaration of independence in February 2008, NATO agreed it would continue to maintain its presence on the basis of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1244. It has since helped to provide a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all people and communities in Kosovo.

KFOR is committed to supporting all communities in Kosovo in an impartial manner underpinned by the principle of neutrality. As a trusted actor to Belgrade and Pristina, KFOR has played a key role in the peaceful de-escalation of tensions on many occasions.

NATO helps develop local security organisations capable of delivering security for Kosovo. Next to KFOR, the NATO Advisory and Liaison Team provides capacity-building support to the security organisations in Kosovo within the areas of crisis response, response to natural and other disasters and emergencies, explosive ordnance disposal and civil protection.

Operation Sea Guardian (OSG) contributes to the maintenance of a safe and secure maritime environment in the Mediterranean Sea through three main tasks: maritime security capacity-building, situational awareness and counter-terrorism. It has been ongoing since November 2016 and is the successor of Operation Active Endeavour.

Every year, Operation Sea Guardian conducts five or six focused operations in specific areas of interest in the Mediterranean. These operations use sea, air, sub-surface and other assets to gather, develop and maintain an accurate picture of daily activity in different parts of the Mediterranean Sea. Most focused operations also include port visits to non-NATO countries to contribute to maritime security capacity building in the region.

NATO only cooperates with Iraqi security forces and institutions under direct and effective control of the government of Iraq. The mission fully integrates civil and military personnel. NATO advises relevant Iraqi defence and security officials and professional security education institutions in the greater Baghdad area. Specific areas of focus include: policy and strategy; force generation and development; resource management; Women, Peace and Security; leadership development; and good governance in the security sector. The mission closely coordinates with other international actors on the ground, including the European Union and the United Nations.

Since 2005, NATO has been cooperating with and supporting the African Union (AU). The AU is a key international interlocutor for NATO in the South, particularly when it comes to tackling shared security threats and challenges. The relationship is guided by the principles of African ownership, with activities conducted following AU requests, and close coordination with other international organisations and partners.

NATO maintains a liaison office at the headquarters of the AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This office is led by a Senior Military Liaison Officer, who is the principal NATO military point of contact for the AU.
