Book Description

The Military Articles & Services List (MASL) is a catalog of descriptive codes and text used to identify materiel and services available to be transferred to foreign governments and international organizations. The codes and text are used in myriad systems to identify what is being transferred and to track logistics and financial transactions (e.g., Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) documents, lease documents, bills sent to the customers, storage facility inventory lists, shipping documentation, surcharges) and perform diverse reporting. This document: Defines the many aspects of the MASL, Describes the relevancy to other systems, Standardizes abbreviations, Defines the different fields that make up a MASL line, Lists the procedures to develop and change MASL lines, Lists associated reports. While the MASL itself is out of necessity very detailed, its applications are quite broad in nature. The MASL is a vast network that binds together all the articles and services sold under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. Our objective with this document is to simplify and clarify the MASL instrument and process. Where possible, MASL procedures are streamlined by creating a user-friendly format and improving the logical flow and structure.

Book Description

Drawdowns are different from normal Security Assistance procedures, and very important tools for furthering U.S. foreign policy objectives. Key players in the drawdown process are the Country Program/Financial Directors, as well as other personnel within DSCA. A drawdown is one of the very unique times when the Commander-in-Chief, placing full trust and confidence in you, empowers you to effect a change in international relations. Although the drawdown of Department of Defense articles, services and training is generally coordinated through existing Security Assistance channels using the basic policies and guidelines already in-place, usually, time is of the essence. Drawdowns do not occur that often and as a result we fully recognize that you need help in wading through this sometimes-mysterious world. This handbook is a guide for you and other Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) personnel who become involved in the planning and execution of drawdowns. It is not intended to serve as a regulation, and consequently should not be construed as one. That said, this guide builds upon two earlier editions and contains the wisdom of some of the best and brightest professionals in the Security Cooperation Community.

Book Description

The legal position of visiting forces transcends domestic and international law and is of growing importance in our increasingly globalized and insecure world. 'In area' and 'out of area' operations, both for the purpose of establishing and maintaining peace and in connection with the conduct of other military operations and training, are likely to become more frequent for a variety of reasons. Finding where the applicable law places the balance between the interests, sensitivities and needs of the host state and the requirements, often practical in nature, of the visiting force is a key objective in ensuring that the relationship between hosts and 'guests' is and remains harmonious. All of this must be achieved in an increasingly complex legal environment. This fully updated second edition of The Handbook of the Law of Visiting Forces addresses the issues surrounding visiting forces and provides a full overview of the legal framework in which they operate. Through an analysis of jurisprudence and historical developments, it offers a comparative commentary to the UN, NATO, and other SOFA rules. The Handbook then continues its analysis through cases studies of visiting forces in key countries, including a fully updated chapter on Afghanistan that considers the various stages of the conflict, before offering conclusions on the current state of the law and its likely future development.
