organizations that are focused on

delivering the highest quality military

materiel, services and training to our

international partners.

The U.S. Army Security Assistance Enterprise,

with a workforce of more than 3,100 people, is

committed to supporting U.S. national security

and foreign policy objectives by assisting

our allies and partners in pursuit of defense

solutions in the complex global security

environment. We offer a myriad of materiel,

engineering, training, and medical materiel

package approach” to ensure partners receive a

complete, sustainable capability. This brochure

introduces some of those capabilities and the

organizations that comprise the enterprise.

ABOUT US

The U.S. Army Security Assistance Command implements approved Army overseas training,

materiel, and service cases; and is responsible for life cycle management of these cases,

from pre-letter of request through development, execution, and closure. The U.S. Army

Program Executive Offices support materiel cases for current U.S. Army systems and in

some instances for non-standard equipment that is managed by select program offices. The

Security Assistance Training Field Activity coordinates international partner training at U.S.

Army schools and other professional military education opportunities. Engineering services

are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and include a wide variety of engineer

planning, management, construction and training services. The following pages provide

more information about each of these organizations, as well as how to obtain additional

information.

The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Defense Exports and Cooperation (DASA (DE&C)) leads the Army Security Assistance Enterprise (ASAE). The ASAE develops solutions that deliver capabilities to partner nations through the government-to-government relationship of the foreign military sales (FMS) process. The FMS process provides our partners access to the same programmatic and procurement systems and expertise that support U.S. Army requirements. The ASAE delivers capabilities through four implementing organizations and supporting program offices.

To carry out the Army security assistance

materiel mission, USASAC relies on AMC

Life Cycle Management Commands, as well

as other Department of Defense agencies

and U.S. industry to support its processes.

security assistance programs, including

Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases of defense

articles and services to eligible allies and

partners. USASAC is responsible for life

cycle management of FMS materiel cases,

Through the Army’s Total Package Approach,

FMS is more than just military equipment.

It includes training, facilities, manuals, spare

parts and sustainment to facilitate our allies’

and partners’ continued success. USASAC,

with the support of the Security Assistance

Enterprise, enables Army readiness by

building partner capacity and synchronizing

FMS requirements with the Army supply
