Advice for a US Security Cooperation Officer Serving In Africa

Advice for a US Security Cooperation Officer Serving In Africa. A sub-Saharan Africa US Army Foreign Area Officer describes his journey and learning experiences through a series of blog posts consolidated into this wonderful book. Andrus Chaney's experiences through security cooperation and security assistance activities as a security cooperation officer stationed out of a US embassy should be required reading for every new security cooperation officer coming out of training and heading to their first post overseas. From acronyms to planning a critical leader engagement to a chapter dedicated solely to developing a complete military capability package using the total package approach. Although centered around Africa, this book and its lessons fully apply to any new security cooperation officer beginning their journey at a US embassy.
