The Defense Resources Management Institute (DRMI) provides integrated executive education programs in resources management and analytical decision making for military officers and civilian defense officials from the United States and more than 170 partner nations. Established in 1965 as an educational institution by the Secretary of Defense, the DRMI is co-located with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. The DRMI became a component of the Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU), a directorate of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) in September 2023. The DRMI’s multi-disciplinary faculty conduct graduate-level executive education courses in Monterey and tailored courses and seminars at other locations in the U.S. and abroad upon request. The DRMI’s programs enhance the efficient and effective allocation of scarce resources in today’s defense organizations by developing participants’ analytical decision making skills. Participants do not focus on learning detailed job-specific skills but rather on the concepts, techniques, and issues that pervade resources management decision making in most mid-management through executive-level positions. To accomplish this, the DRMI provides a dynamic learning environment featuring interactive lectures on key concepts from economics, management, and quantitative reasoning; facilitated small group discussions; and real-world case studies. The DRMI’s programs bring together mid to senior-level managers, military officers, grades O-3 through O-6, and civilian defense officials of grades GS-09 through GS-15 or equivalent. Once a year, flag and general rank military officers and equivalent civilian officials only attend the Senior International Defense Management Course.

While speaking at a NATO press conference in Brussels, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III continued to promote security cooperation’s role in Ukraine’s fight against Russia. “We have been supporting him [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy] by providing security assistance in a major way for over two and a half years [and] we’re going to continue to do that.” https://lnkd.in/dBe9y_gZ #DoD #NATO #securitycooperation

Security Cooperation Workforce Certification 2.0 Launch The Department of Defense Security Cooperation Workforce (SCW) can now map Certification 2.0 course requirements by registering for fiscal year 2025 Defense Security Cooperation University courses. The completely revamped Certification 2.0 Program will help ensure the approximately 15,0000 DOD personnel assigned to statutorily defined and coded SCW positions have the competency-based training and experience necessary to carry out assigned #SecurityCooperation responsibilities. Not sure how to get started with Certification 2.0? SCW members can find Certification 2.0 resources, to include requirements, workforce coding details, frequently asked questions, and registration information, at https://lnkd.in/enn2JaBW. To date, DSCU, in collaboration with the DOD security cooperation enterprise, has accomplished the main objective of the Certification 2.0 Program, the establishment of a framework to guide DOD security cooperation training and education. This can be found in the Interim Implementation Guidelines for the DOD Security Cooperation Workforce Program 2.0. Certification 2.0 also provides the SCW a consistent, disciplined mechanism to ensure National Defense Strategy objectives are achieved through appropriate education, training, and development, which has been divided into nine functional areas. Certification 2.0 includes completely new and enhanced curriculum and a requirement to properly code SCW positions in manpower systems of record to reflect these enhancements.
