The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Military Assistance Advisory Groups (MAAG) have operated in foreign countries for many years to provide operational and tactical advisory and training assistance to host-country armed forces and to administer the grant aid program. The International Security Assistance Act of 1977, P.L. 95-92, specified changes in the operations of the groups to improve the overall management of the programs. P.L. 95-92 had little, if any, direct effect on the scope and type of MAAG operations or on the direction and supervision provided by the Chiefs of U.S. Diplomatic Missions. The staff levels of certain groups were reduced, but their duties were unchanged. The Departments of State and Defense have not defined the primary functions to be performed by MAAG under the act or the duties and tasks for each function. Many of the tasks being performed by MAAG are procedural in nature and could be assumed by the host country, performed by security assistance program managers in the United States, or performed by teams sent to the country for limited periods. P.L. 95-92 imposed a manpower ceiling on the number of military personnel that could be assigned overseas to security assistance functions. Two of the 15 MAAG achieved apparent compliance by merely transferring personnel to technical assistance field teams which are not subject to the ceiling.

The United States conducts a wide range of security cooperation missions and initiatives that can serve as key enablers of U.S. foreign policy efforts to assist and influence other countries. For a relatively small investment, security cooperation programs can play an important role by shaping the security environment and laying the groundwork for future stability operations with allies and partners. Security cooperation, in the form of noncombat military-to-military activities, includes "normal" peacetime activities, such as building the long-term institutional and operational capabilities and capacity of key partners and allies, establishing and deepening relationships between the United States and partner militaries, and securing access to critical areas overseas. Security cooperation also can include conducting quasi-operational efforts, such as helping U.S. partners and allies manage their own internal defense. However, current national security challenges both create significant demands for U.S. security cooperation programs and deplete the resources needed to carry out these missions. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are occupying the regular, reserve, National Guard, and Special Forces trainers and advisors who would normally be called on to train and advise military counterparts. Furthermore, U.S. allies, who often complement the efforts of U.S. advisors and trainers, are also stretched thin by their own deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. In an effort to find ways to improve security cooperation planning, coordination, and execution, the U.S. Army's Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans asked RAND Arroyo Center to conduct an assessment of key facets of U.S. security cooperation -- specifically, the missions, capabilities, and structure needed in the security assistance organizations (SAOs) that coordinate the military aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including security cooperation activities, at U.S. Missions around the world.
