DISAM’s Mission Statement

The Defense Institute of Security Assistance Management provides professional education, research, and support to advance U.S. foreign policy through Security Assistance and Cooperation.

Presidential Direction:  Ensure our troops have the training they need when they are deployed. Improve and measure the effectiveness of training investments.

OMB High-Priority Performance Goals (HPPGs) – each Department directed to identify up to 12 HPPGs to increase government performance. DEPSECDEF identified 9 OSD 2011 strategic objectives as HPPGs to include 4.2T.

DoD Strategic Objective 4.2T:  Prepare the force to meet current and emerging challenges faced by operational commanders and reinvigorate the acquisition workforce and the security cooperation workforce. USD(P&R) USD(ATL) USD(P)

Cumulative percent increase of incumbents that are trained in security cooperation in positions that require security cooperation training - By FY 2011 the DoD will increase the percent of incumbents that have been trained in security cooperation in positions that require security cooperation training to 95% percent.

DISAM AccomplishmentsTowards SC Training

What’s the impact: In last 2 years we’ve handled approx 24.5% of
