 to complete this vital mandatory training.

Why do you need this course?

* A necessity as a matter of national security.

* It is a mandatory requirement for those employed in DoD international programs.

It is a necessity because it is a matter of national security. It is critical for the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  to have strong allies. We have many cooperative programs The Cooperative Program is a unified funds collection program of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) designed to support SBC seminaries, mission agencies and denominational ministries.  with our allies as well as appropriate foreign military sales That portion of United States security assistance authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, as amended. This assistance differs from the Military Assistance Program and the International Military Education and Training Program  to help ensure their strength. But just as important as it is to have these programs, it is equally important that we protect our sensitive and classified technology and military capabilities. It is vital that every DoD employee involved in international programs understands security arrangements, laws, policies, and procedures that govern foreign involvement in our international programs.

Your attendance is also a mandatory DoD requirement by direction of the previous Deputy Secretary of Defense, Dr. John J. Hamre. Dr. Hamre's letter of October 22, 1999 mandated that all DoD personnel who participate in international activities successfully complete a certified International Programs Security Requirements (IPSR IPSR Institute for Population and Social Research (Mahidol University)
IPSR Institute of Professional Studies and Research (Kottayam, India) 
) course. This requirement can be satisfied in one of five ways:

* The International Programs Security Requirements 5-Day Course

* The International Programs Security Requirements 2-Day Course

* The DISAM Security Assistance Management CONUS Course (SAM-C SAM-C Security Assistance Management - CONUS )

* The DISAM SAM Overseas Course (SAM-O)

* The International Programs Security and Technology Transfer Course taught by the Defense Systems Management College

The International Programs Security Requirements 5-Day and 2-Day Courses (IPSRC) were initially developed by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy The Undersecretary of Defense for Policy is the title of a high-level civilian official in the United States Department of Defense. The Undersecretary of Defense for Policy is the principal staff assistant and advisor to both the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of  Support (ODUSD(PS)) who was given the charter by the Deputy Secretary of Defense to take the lead in ensuring the requirement was fulfilled as specified in Dr. Hamre's letter. ODUSD(PS) developed a course of instruction that covers International Programs Security and ensures that all applicable employees become fully trained. As the office responsible for implementing the IPS (1) (Inches Per Second) The measurement of the speed of tape passing by a read/write head or paper passing through a pen plotter.

(2) (IPS) (Intrusion Prevention S
 program, ODUSD(PS) has approved the course content of the DISAM's CONUS and Overseas courses as satisfying the DoD requirement.

On October 1, 2001, ODUSD(PS) turned over management of the IPSR 2-Day and 5-Day Courses to DISAM. DISAM will provide all administration and registration of the 2-Day and 5-Day Course. Course instruction for the 5-Day Course will be conducted by a contractor currently on contract with ODUSD(PS). Instruction of the 2-Day Course will be shared between the contractor and DISAM. ODUSD(PS) still maintains oversight of the course, providing all policy decisions on IPSRC course content and requirements for attendance. They also continue to take all necessary actions to ensure IPSRC course attendance by personnel from the military departments and other DoD components.

Now that you know you are in a position that requires your attendance at an IPS course, you want to know "what course is right for me -- SAM-C, SAM-O, IPSR 2-Day Course, or the IPSR 5-Day Course"?

The answer is easy. If you are a mid-level military or DoD civilian A Federal civilian employee of the Department of Defense directly hired and paid from appropriated or nonappropriated funds, under permanent or temporary appointment. Specifically excluded are contractors and foreign host nationals as well as third country civilians.  newly assigned in a security assistance billet located either in the CONUS or Overseas, then you can satisfy the IPS requirement by attendance in the SAM-C or SAM-O Course. These courses were certified on October 1, 2000 by ODUSD(PS) for the IPS requirement.
