To modernize its arms export framework, the US Department of Defense consolidated oversight of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and the Defense Technology Security Administration. This structural adjustment seeks to balance accelerated foreign military sales with stringent protection of advanced technologies. By integrating acquisition oversight and risk management, the Pentagon aims to strengthen allied interoperability, enhance compliance monitoring, and improve responsiveness to partner requirements. The realignment also supports broader economic objectives tied to sustaining and expanding the US defense manufacturing ecosystem.
