Page | 4 training and technical assistance mission. USASATMO plans, forms, prepares, deploys, sustains and re-deploys Continental United States (CONUS)-based (from the continental U.S.) Security Assistance Teams (SATs) to execute OCONUS (overseas) Security Cooperation missions in support of Geographic Combatant Command Theater Security Cooperation Programs and U.S. foreign policy (For the purposes herein, the terms "Security Assistance" and "Security Cooperation" mean "Foreign Military Aid.").
