Ms. Heidi Grant, Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has announced her transition from the federal government.

There have been relations between America's military and the militaries of other nations since the United States first became a country. However, it wasn't until 1971 that the Defense Department created the Defense Security Assistance Agency — later renamed the Defense Security Cooperation Agency — to make security cooperation a formal function of the Defense Department.

While it's true the Defense Security Cooperation Agency is most-closely associated with foreign military sales,  that is not all they do. When it comes to working with security partners, there's an effort now to focus on multi-domain operations to improve teamwork in regards to air operations, Heidi H. Grant, DSCA's new director said.

Ms. Heidi Grant has been selected to assume responsibility from Lt. Gen. Charles Hooper, as the director of DSCA.
