Peace through cooperation
Article Abstract:
The US has provided more than $950 billion in military assistance to more than 100 nations since World War Two in 1939. This assistance has come in the form of direct foreign sales of military arms and equipment, training for foreign military personnel and subsidies for sales by industry. With the end of the Cold War and the subsequent defense budget reductions of traditional NATO and western allies, the role of the US Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) has become more important than ever. The underpinning element of US foreign policy is world peace. The USASAC can help attain this goal by helping its foreign partners to achieve economic growth, political stability and military preparedness, under which peace can be secured.

Digitizing the army
Article Abstract:
The digitized integration of communications and computer technology has enabled the US Army to provide an accurate operational situation for battefield commanders. Because commanders and their subordinates share a common operational picture of the battlefield, digitized forces are more effective in a high-tech time-sensitive battlespace. However, for the Army to be fully digitized, its people should not only be competent, dedicated and disciplined but also value teamwork and believe in the equipment.
