FORT BRAGG, N.C. â The Security Assistance Training Management Organizationâs commander, Col. Scott Malone, relinquished command to Lt. Col Alex Duran at a relinquishment of command ceremony May 7.
Brig. Gen. Douglas Lowrey, commander of the Security Assistance Command, officiated the ceremony, passing the unit colors to Duran, until Maloneâs replacement, Col. Andrew Clark, arrives in August.
Malone, who is moving to another assignment, focused his remarks on the efforts of the SATMO team, which he called the SATMO family, and leadership of the SATMO senior enlisted adviser, Command Sgt. Maj. Brad Owens.
âIf I could take Command Sgt. Maj. Owens, and this entire team with me anywhere I go, I would absolutely bring them with me,â Malone said. âThis team accomplishes more with an incredibly small organization than division-sized elements all day long. We might be doing tactical level training but it absolutely has operational and strategic level impact.�

BOGOTÃ â Two Security Assistance Command employees have trained more than 140 Colombian military and Ministry of Defense civilian personnel in how to develop and execute their own foreign military sales cases.
The training was prompted by the recent closure of the Southern Commandâs Security Assistance Management office in Bogotá. SAMO personnel acted as intermediaries between USASAC and Colombia and managed FMS case development, case processing, and assisted the Colombians with transportation challenges following the loss of military-sponsored channel flights. The office closure left a void that was challenging, but necessary, to fill.
Colombian Vice Minister of Defense Jairo GarcÃa Guerrero and the military services requested the in-depth FMS case training, which kicked off after a senior leader engagement by USASAC Commander Brig. Gen. Douglas Lowrey and his staff members the previous week.
