Analysis of the United States Navy Foreign Area Officer Program

Abstract

The United States Navy Foreign Area Officer (FAO) program has been in the developmental stage since its inception in 2006. The program should be examined to find ways to improve it and create efficiencies in the following four areas: utilization, training, promotion, and accessions. Many senior officers and government executives (experts) could provide valuable insight on areas for program improvement and growth. This thesis was designed to collect these lessons learned and consolidate them to see where common threads may apply. Gathering this knowledge at the corporate, operational, and strategic level will lead to increased capabilities and efficiencies in the FAO program.
