2. "The Thing"

April 6, 2017: Did you know that the U.S. government now has 107 programs that it can use to aid foreign militaries and police forces? Neither did I, before we started working on what turned out to be a huge report, or project, or "thing," that's now nearly complete. The new resource I discuss here doesn't have a name yet, but you can check it out in draft form at defenseassistance.org/program . (In mid-April this will move to defenseoversight.wola.org.) I also discuss the Security Assistance Monitor program, which I highly recommend you visit at securityassistance.org .
