OVERSEAS MILITARY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

United States military personnel are assigned to Security Assistance Organizations (SAOs) overseas to ensure effective planning and management of host country security assistance programs. These individuals, along with U.S. civilians and local national civilians serve under the direction and supervision of the Chiefs of U.S. Diplomatic Missions. The SAO provides liaison among the Mission, the Department of Defense, and the host country defense establishment in security assistance matters.

SAO personnel work closely with members of the host country defense establishment to develop and execute training programs and to accomplish realistic and effective procurement actions. These efforts are key to the development of a defense infrastructure capable of integrating weapons and support systems into the existing force structure. Professional exchanges and cooperative planning contribute to effective and efficient country security assistance programs.

The Department of Defense reviews staffing authorizations in coordination with the Department of State, the Chiefs of U.S. Diplomatic Missions, and the regional area military Commanders-in-Chief to ensure that SAOs are properly staffed to conduct their missions efficiently. These reviews have resulted in a reduction of total SAO personnel authorizations from the 697 (Actual for FY 1998) reported in last year's CPD to 654 Actual for FY 1999.

In FY 2000, separate SAOs will be assigned to fifty-five countries. In forty four additional countries, programs will be administered by augmentation personnel assigned to carry out security assistance management functions under the supervision of the Defense Attaché or other Mission staff. In other countries with which the U.S. maintains a security assistance relationship, Defense Attaches and other Mission personnel manage the programs without augmentation personnel.

The following tables identify the security assistance authorized staffing levels and associated costs at the conclusion of FY 1999 and the estimated levels for FY 2000 and FY 2001. Actual assigned strengths for FY 2000 and FY 2001 may be less than the authorized levels shown. Staffing requirements may change as individual country programs develop.

The following is a glossary of Organizations assigned to U.S. Diplomatic Missions overseas that manage host country security assistance programs:
