Defense Security Cooperation Agency

aid: defense-security-cooperation-agency
name: Defense Security Cooperation Agency
description: The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) is the U.S. Department of Defense agency that leads, directs,
  and manages security cooperation programs and resources to support U.S. policy and interests with foreign partners. DSCA
  administers the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, Foreign Military Financing (FMF) execution, International Military
  Education and Training (IMET), and humanitarian assistance programs. Public-facing surfaces include the Major Arms Sales
  notifications published in cooperation with Congress, the DSCA newsroom and library, and the Security Cooperation Workforce
  certification portal. DSCA does not publish a general-purpose developer API; partner-nation systems interact through controlled,
  government-to-government channels such as the Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP).
