assistance, foreign military sales and build- ing partner capacity programs—the broad set of missions, programs, activities and authorities intended to improve the ability of other nations to achieve those security- oriented goals they share with the United States. DASA (DE&C)


is collecting


data and conducting assessments across the Army security assistance enterprise in fiscal year 2020 to determine unique Army training requirements. Te resulting Army-centric security assistance training and tools will complement Defense Secu- rity Cooperation University training, some of which may qualify for continuous learn- ing credit in the certification program.


HOW TO GET STARTED Army commands and organizations have completed the data input into the DOD Security Cooperation Workforce Develop- ment Database to enable Army security cooperation personnel to see their area of concentration, certification level, certifi- cation requirements and status. To view the database, which requires a Common Access Card (CAC), go to https://www.


dscu.mil, click on the “Certification Center” icon and explore the “Training Report” and “Certification Status” links.


Recognizing that many personnel in the current workforce have completed courses related to security cooperation in the past, the certification program gives “new” course credit for the completion of legacy courses that meet equivalency standards. More information is available at: https://www.dscu.mil/documents/ sc_cert/Legacy_Course_Credit_Equiv- alency_Table_for_Required_Courses. pdf.
