United States Security Assistance Organizations (SAOs) are military and civilian personnel stationed in foreign countries to manage security assistance and other military programs. SAOs are closest to these programs' operation and have the closest contact with host-country militaries. SAOs go by different names in different countries. These names include Military Groups (MILGROUPs), Military Assistance and Advisory Groups (MAAGs), Military Liaison Offices (MLOs), Offices of the Defense Representative (ODRs), Offices of Security Cooperation (OSC) (one example is the Office of Defense Cooperation Turkey), and the Office of Military Cooperation (OMC). In general, they are not to be confused with defense attachés, who normally play a more diplomatic role. Many U.S. Embassies have both defense attachés and SAOs. ==Duties== SAOs' duties are officially referred to as "overseas military program management." Specific responsibilities may include: * Managing Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases * Managing training programs * Monitoring security-assistance programs * Evaluating and planning the host country's military capabilities and requirements * Promoting international defense cooperation and interoperability between forces * Providing administrative support * Carrying out other liaison functions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Security Assistance Organizations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
