Science and Technology to Advance Regional Security in Central Asia

摘要

This program is referred to as STARS, for Science and Technology to Advance Regional Security, in Central Asia. It is a program that is based on cooperative, bilateral and multilateral, science and technology projects. It is the premise that such cooperative projects provide an opportunity for engagement while addressing real problems that could otherwise lead to destabilizing tensions in the region. The STARS program directly supports USCENTCOM's activities and objectives in environmental security. In fact, STARS is a great vehicle for implementing and amplifying USCENTCOM's environmental security objectives and activities.
