Book excerpt: Section 1206 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2006, as amended and regularly extended, provides the Secretary of Defense with authority to train and equip foreign military forces for two specified purposes-counterterrorism and stability operations-and foreign security forces for counterterrorism operations. Section 1206 authority now extends through FY2017. The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) version of the FY2015 NDAA would codify this authority as permanent law under Title 10. In doing so, it would make several changes to the current temporary law. Section 1203 of this bill, S. 2410, would, in particular, increase the funding available for Section 1206 activities to $500 million (by providing a $150 million reprogramming authority) and limit the scope for counterterrorism assistance to all security forces that have a counterterrorism mission. The Department of Defense (DOD) values this authority as an important tool to train and equip military partners. Funds may be obligated only with the concurrence of the Secretary of State. Through 2009, DOD used Section 1206 authority primarily to provide counterterrorism support. Since FY2010, Section 1206 authority has also been used to provide significant assistance to train and equip foreign military forces for military and stability operations in which U.S. forces participate. Currently, there is a cap of $350 million on Section 1206 obligations per fiscal year. Total funding thus far for Section 1206 programs since its inception in FY2006 is some $2.2 billion. During this period, Section 1206 funding supported bilateral programs in over 40 countries, several multilateral programs, and an associated global human rights program. FY2014 programs notified to Congress totaled $314 million. These provided assistance to enable 10 European countries to participate in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, as well as assistance to five African countries. No FY2015 funding has been notified to Congress as of early November 2014. For several years, some Members have been concerned with several issues related to Section 1206 authority, both narrow and broad. Specific current concerns have included whether Section 1206 funds are being used appropriately and effectively. Some of these concerns have been partially addressed. One key Section 1206 issue for the lame duck session of the 113th Congress is whether Section 1206 should be made permanent law by codifying it under Title 10, as the Senate Armed Services Committee proposes in its version of the FY2015 NDAA (S. 2410). This proposal raises questions of effectiveness and utility, as well whether the proposed codification is consistent with past practice and whether it has implications for DOD budgets, roles, and missions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, the U.S. created two new programs, authorized in Sections 1206 and 1207 of the FY 2006 Nat. Defense Author. Act, to respond to the threats of global terrorism and instability. These programs have provided over $1.3 billion in military and non-military aid to 62 countries and are due to expire in 2011 and 2010, respectively. This report addresses the extent to which the programs: (1) are consistent with U.S. strategic priorities; (2) are distinct from other programs; (3) address sustainment needs; and (4) incorporate monitoring and evaluation. The report analyzed data and program documents from the DoD and State Dept., and the USAID, and interviewed U.S. and host country officials. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
