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.
