Activation of Security Cooperation Education and Training Center (SCETC)

1. FOLLOWING AN ORGANIZATIONAL REVIEW, THE COALITION AND
SPECIAL WARFARE CENTER (CSWC) STOOD DOWN AND THE SECURITY
COOPERATION EDUCATION AND TRAINING CENTER (SCETC) IS ACTIVATED
EFFECTIVE 1 FEBRUARY 2004. 
 A. THE NEW CENTER REPRESENTS A SHIFT IN FOCUS BASED ON THE
GROWING DEMANDS OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING RELATED TO SECURITY
COOPERATION. THIS SHIFT ALSO RESULTS IN A FUNCTIONAL REALIGNMENT OF
MEU(SOC) PREDEPLOYMENT TRAINING POLICY OVERSIGHT TO THE ASSISTANT
CHIEF OF STAFF G-3, TECOM. BILLETS INVOLVED IN THE MANAGEMENT AND
SUPPORT OF SECURITY ASSISTANCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING, AS WELL AS
THOSE INVOLVED IN COORDINATING SUPPORT OF COMBATANT COMMANDERS'
INITIATIVES, WILL EXECUTE THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE SCETC. 
2. THE MARINE CORPS' STRATEGY 21 OUTLINES A VISION TO ASSIST WITH
SHAPING THE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. THE CORPS' EFFORTS IN
SECURITY COOPERATION INCLUDES BOTH THE TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS OF
SECURITY ASSISTANCE (FOREIGN MILITARY SALES, FOREIGN MILITARY
FINANCING, INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING, AND
DRAWDOWN AUTHORITIES) AND OTHER ELEMENTS SUCH AS COMBATANT COMMANDER
INITIATIVES AND THE REGIONAL DEFENSE COUNTER-TERRORISM FELLOWSHIP
PROGRAM. SCETC WILL SUPPORT BOTH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE'S
SECURITY COOPERATION GUIDANCE AND THE THEATER SECURITY COOPERATION
PLANS OF THE REGIONAL COMBATANT COMMANDERS. SCETC WILL COORDINATE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FULL SPECTRUM OF
SECURITY COOPERATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THESE GOALS.
