Abstract
By now, many of you may be well aware that the training of the Department of Defense's (DOD's) security cooperation and security assistance workforce has drawn attention at the highest levels of the U.S. Government (USG). A Memorandum from the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to all USG Departments and Agencies stated in part. Over the next several months, OMB will work with Congress, interagency management councils, experts in Federal management policy, Federal employees, and other key stakeholders to craft a broad management and performance framework that will achieve near term priorities and overcome long standing management challenges. This effort will include addressing the high-priority performance goals discussed below and will help inform budget decisions. DOD choose several high-priority performance goals, one of which included training of the security cooperation (SC) and security assistance (SA) work force. The goal is to ensure that 95% of that workforce achieves and maintains an appropriate level of training not later than September 30, 2011. We will measure, track, and report progress to OMB each calendar quarter. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Director has established an intermediate goal of achieving the 95% goal for our overseas personnel by the end of this fiscal year -- September 2010. DOD addressed the broader sense of the effort to OMB in their memorandum.
