Summary:An all-of-Army approach to building foreign capability will advance U.S. coalition readiness. [...]2018, a significant shortfall in the Army's international engagement strategy was a self-imposed division of labor between conventional forces' exercise-centric security cooperation and the materiel-focused security assistance enterprise, which resulted in less than optimal outcomes. DASA (DE&C) oversees the transfer of materiel, engineering activities and related training for foreign partners such as servicing foreign military sales cases and armaments cooperation agreements to leverage foreign technologies and capabilities that support Army readiness, modernization and interoperability goals. Importantly, the new law mandates the creation of a formalized assessment, monitoring and evaluation efforts to foster more accurate and transparent reporting on the extent to which DOD achieves security cooperation outcomes and an evaluation of the reasons for success or lack thereof. [...]the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Security Cooperation issued assessment, monitoring and evaluation guidance as well as produced helpful guides such as "Standards and Guidelines for Security Cooperation Assessment," which provide security cooperation programs and activities with standards, guidelines and tools to inform decision-making.
