The DISAM Journal of International Security Assistance Management. Volume 25, Number 4, Summer 2003

Abstract

Our feature article by Lieutenant Colonel Sippel, USA, looks at the dynamics and paradigm encountered by the U.S. Military Training Mission, Saudi Arabia, due to the separate service status of the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces. I was assigned to that unit from 1996-1998 and the article brought back a lot of good memories and pointed out changes that have occurred. This Journal is chock-full of speech excerpts by Secretary of State Colin Powell, Undersecretary of Commerce Kenneth Juster, Assistant Secretaries of State Christina Rocca and Beth Jones, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mathew Daley, and the Honorable Ambassador to India Robert Blackwill. The speeches cover policy dynamics from Asia, Europe, the Pacific, and South America, literally world wide coverage. Excerpts of the latest Department of Commerce's "Report on Offsets" and the State Department's "Report on Direct Commercial Sales Authorizations for Fiscal Year 2002" have been included in this issue. In a commencement address to the new William and Mary international studies graduates, Assistant Secretary of State Lincoln Bloomfield outlines challenges, assets and tools that could apply to our workforce. Take a moment to read this article for some motivation or perhaps a refocus. Steve Arnett and Ann Sajtar discuss the role of the Defense Logistics Information Service in tying the logistics world together via the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Codification System.
