Summary of changes, as printed

This document has been revised and should be completely reviewed. Changes include clarification on the roles and responsibilities of country directors, command country managers, and Security assistance program managers and incorporation of procedures for the total package approach, co- funding, and targeting infrastructure. References to publications such as AFIs and Department of Defense (DoD) instructions (DoDI) are updated. MAJCOM-specific internal processes are deleted and should be included in a MAJCOM supplement to this publication. The chapter and the respective section numbering closely aligns to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Manual 5105.38-M, Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM).
