What is the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and its Role in National Defense?
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) strengthens U.S. defense and foreign policies by working with international allies. Its mission involves supplying military training and equipment to partner nations. This effort not only builds stronger alliances but also promotes U.S. interests globally.
This aligns with the DSCA’s goal to become the top authority in Security Cooperation by 2025 and provide effective solutions promptly. This positions the U.S. as the preferred choice for nations looking to improve their defense capabilities.
Founded in 1971, the DSCA oversees major programs like Foreign Military Sales and International Military Education, facilitating billions of dollars in defense exports annually.
