DISAM Journal of International Security Assistance Management. Volume 29, Number 4, December 2007. Building Partnership Capacity

摘要

This quarter's DISAM Journal features a series of articles covering the School of International Graduate Studies at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). and their relationships with the Center for Civil-Military Relations, Defense Resource Management Institute, and Global Center for Security Operations - a good update to the Winter 2005 Journal which featured NPS in total. There is a multitude of articles in the legislation and policy arena these days and this edition of the Journal attempts to cover the gamut. Particularly, we join, Deputy Secretary of State John D. Negroponte in congratulating the Foreign Service Institute on sixty years of service. We offer the 'Perspectives' of John B. Bellinger III on the United States and International Law along with a take on offsets by Won-Joon Jang and Tae-Yun Joung. We have a great variety of subjects in a section entitled 'Security Cooperation Community'. CENTCOM's Greg Marme looks into fiscal policy issues from a COCOM perspective. Angela Kravitz' (SAF/IA) reports on the emphasis being placed on the 'United States Air Force International Affairs Career Field'. Ron Weinberger's discussion of NAVAIR's process improvement efforts and Petty Officer First Class David Votroube's (CSTC-Afghanistan) notes the partnership with DISAM in providing training to Afghan personnel. Lieutenant Colonel Mario Matos documents the success of 'Operation Iguana Volador', combined exercise in Latin America. Charles Taylor's update on GMAP II all authenticate the dynamics of our environment. DISAM's Joanne Hawkins' article, 'Where's My Stuff', helps cut to the core of getting the right stuff to the right person at the right time. This is a central issue if you are a logistician working security cooperation materiel issues.
