In the realm of security cooperation--peacetime activities undertaken by the U.S. armed services with other armed forces and countries--the U.S. Army's current planning process is exceedingly complex and difficult to coordinate, control, and measure. This monograph seeks to help the U.S. Army improve its ability to assess future demand for resources devoted to security cooperation and to evaluate the impact of these demands upon the resources available to the Army.
This monograph documents the results of a project entitled "Army Capabilities to Respond to Future Engagement Requirements." The project aimed to improve the Army's decisionmaking and prioritization of resources devoted to security cooperation. The research reported here was sponsored by the Deputy Under Secretary of the Army (International Affairs). Toward the end of the project's duration, that office was disestablished and its functions split up and merged into the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology) and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3, Operations and Plans, Headquarters, Department of the Army. The research was conducted in RAND Arroyo Center's Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program. RAND Arroyo Center, part of the RAND Corporation, is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the United States Army. The report should be of interest to those concerned with security cooperation and Army international activities.
This is a thoroughly revised second edition of a book that we published in 2010. Exporting Security is about the US military's role in military-to-military partnerships, such as helping to support and train foreign militaries, and about the US military's role in missions other than war, ranging from diplomacy, to development, to humanitarian assistance after disasters or during epidemics. Reveron is a proponent of these non-warfighting missions because he views them as an economical way to promote human security and regional security in trouble spots, which he says is in the US national interest. He also sees these efforts as making it less likely that the US will feel compelled to intervene directly in hot spots around the globe if our partners can maintain their own security or if humanitarian disasters can be averted. This second edition will take into account the Obama administration's foreign policy, the poor legacy of training the Iraqi army, the implications of more assertive foreign policies by Russia and China, and the US military's role in recent humanitarian crises such as the Ebola epidemic in West Africa--
Security cooperation professionals work towards the development of a standardized assessment framework that not only provides the most complete data for recommendation development, but also is compatible across geographic boundaries and interagency boundaries. Across the inter-agency a common language does not exist when referring to the planning and assessment process. In order to maximize the efficiency of US Government programs in security cooperation around the globe, there must be some efforts to not only improve assessment, but also to build some commonality among assessment frameworks and progress measures. This paper aims to highlight some considerations when planning and implementing security cooperation and should provide the reader with some critical-thinking tools to continue discussion with interagency partners involved in security cooperation. The paper discusses assessment based on current policy, considers strengths and weaknesses of three assessment or research methodologies, then current practices and opportunities. Finally it provides some recommendations for further academic study and discussion.
This report develops a framework and options to streamline the patchwork of authorities in Public Law and Title 10 of the U.S. Code that the Department of Defense employs in the planning and execution of security cooperation with foreign partners.

The current layered and bifurcated approach to homeland security and defense is insufficient for combating future threats to the nation. This book describes a new approach to homeland security and defense. Broadly speaking, this new approach, termed Domestic Security Cooperation, leverages the U.S. military's experience over the past ten years in Afghanistan and Iraq, and applies it to building capacity amongst organizations responsible for U.S. homeland security. Using the U.S. Army doctrinal Capabilities-Based Assessment model, the analysis highlights current capabilities, required capabilities, and solutions as they apply to organizations responsible for safeguarding the U.S.-Mexican Border. For the purposes of the assessment, these organizations include U.S. Northern Command, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The assessment, based on a scenario where extremist groups and Mexican-based transnational criminal organizations collude to infiltrate a weapon of mass destruction, highlights doctrinal, organizational, training, and policy changes necessary for a more effective approach in preventing illicit trafficking across the Southwest Border. Although the gap analysis and solutions focus on improvements between the interagency and Department of Defense as they apply to the Southwest Border, Domestic Security Cooperation is applicable to broader homeland security and defense initiatives.
Part 1 of 2 Welcome to the 33rd edition of The Management of Security Cooperation produced by the Defense Institute of Security Assistance Management (DISAM). DISAM serves as a Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) institution to provide consolidated professional training and education for the security cooperation workforce. Since its initial publication in the spring of 1980, this textbook has been commonly referred to as the "Greenbook" by virtue of its green cover. This Greenbook edition, at the time of publication, incorporates the most current information available regarding security assistance and security cooperation programs. It explains the wide range of DOD activities and relationships involved in developing and managing various types of security cooperation programs, including "Building Partner Capacity" programs, in addition to the traditional Department of State (DOS) security assistance programs. Readers should be aware that the Greenbook is an academic document. It is intended to function as a resource to aid in the instruction and understanding of the multi-faceted and highly interactive world of security cooperation. It does not set policy, precedent, or procedures. The views, opinions, and conclusions expressed or implied herein are those of the authors or editors and are not to be construed as representing official policies of the US government or any of its departments and agencies.
