| Security cooperation activities conducted by DoD entities with other nations' defense organizations range from the very visible - training, equipping, and exercising together - to those that are less obvious, such as holding bilateral talks. Yet, it is often challenging to determine if these activities have contributed to U.S. objectives and if so, by how much or in what ways. Because security cooperation is both dispersed and long-term, it is ... |
