The launch of the Defense Security Cooperation Service (DSCS) on October 1, 2024, reinforces DSCA’s vision to serve as the source for Security Cooperation expertise for our defense and foreign policy stakeholders.
Within the current global climate, there is a tremendous hunger for security cooperation initiatives. This level of performance doesn’t happen without a deliberately developed, professionally trained, and fully supported workforce. DSCS will answer this call, modernizing our security cooperation officer workforce to assist our allies and partners around the globe.
The FY24 NDAA authorized the creation of the Defense Security Cooperation Service to “ensure that security cooperation organizations of the United States located at overseas missions possess the requisite personnel, and that such personnel possess the skills needed to properly perform their missions.”
The DSCS also fulfills the directives of the National Security Strategy to invest in our workforce in building and maintaining our relationships with allies and partners around the globe, building a coalition of nations to enhance our collective influence to shape the global strategic environment, and modernize our military so it is quipped for the next era of strategic competition.
