Assessment Of Overseas

Advisory Efforts Of The

U.S. Security Assistance

Program




Departments of Defense and State

The U.S. reportedly spent $70 million in
1974 for military advisory assistance to 49
countries under the Security Assistance Pro-
gram. GAO believes the advisory groups activ-
ities were principally to facilitate the $8 bil-
lion Foreign Military Sales Program and to
meet political objectives.

Consideration should be given to eliminating
advisory groups that have outlived their use-
fulness in administering grant military assist-
ance. Cost of groups, whose prime activities
are facilitating sales, should be recovered
through the sales program. Improved report-
ing of cost and staffing of all advisory effort is
needed if the Congress is to have effective
oversight over the Security Assistance Pro-
gram.
