About this file
This PowerPoint presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Security Assistance Training Management Organization (SATMO) Ground Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) mission and operational concept. The document details SATMO's core mission of executing non-institutional Security Assistance training worldwide in support of Department of Defense and Department of State Security Cooperation initiatives, with the primary purpose of building partner nation security sector capabilities and advancing U.S. national security objectives.
The presentation outlines the TAFT operational model, which involves deploying teams to partner nations to provide training, technical advice, and mentorship across various military domains. A key example highlighted is a 9-person Air Defense Artillery (ADA) TAFT, designed to train counterparts to assume full operational control of defense systems. The timeline indicates a contract award anticipated in 2026, with initial deployments and equipment delivery planned for the same year. The teams will focus on train-advise-assist-support activities, including developing training programs, mission essential task lists, standard operating procedures, and maintenance programs, while strictly adhering to stipulations in Letters of Request and Letters of Offer and Acceptance.

Intent SATMO TAFT provides in country training in sustainment, support, ground combat operations.
Ground Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) Mission
| Hybrid TAFTs are becoming a preferred trend with partner nation, where a small number of uniformed personnel augment a contracted team. When uniformed personnel are not be available, Contractor support will be the primary option. |
| SATMO anticipates an increasing requirement for Contractor support, especially for Air and Missile Defense (AMD) skills including but not limited to: PATRIOT, THAAD, and Counter-UAS operational employment and planning. |
| Interest continues with partner nations for maneuver-focused TAFTs, Fire Support Systems (such as HIMARS), and institutional capacity building. |
| Overall objective of the Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) is to assist the host country building a mission-ready capability with trained personnel and maintenance support capabilities able to support mission. The TAFT is authorized to train best practices, Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTPs), Training Support Packages, and lessons learned that are not sensitive or classified to the USG. |

TAFT Tasks: A TAFT is complimentary to the Original Equipment M CFSRs. While, CFSRs only have a secondary over-the shoulder training function with reach back to OEM resources, the TAFT’s primary task focus is to
TRAIN – ADVISE – ASSIST – SUPPORT
TAFT Activities: Train – Advise – Assist – Support

TAFT Activities: Train – Advise – Assist – Support cont.
Train TAFT members conduct training on practices based upon their professional expertise and personal experience.
Training may not necessarily always have a defined Program of Instruction (POI) and can be conducted as hands-on demonstration, oral presentation, guided discussion, or other means as determined by the Trainer.
Advise TAFT members advise unit personnel on how to establish or conduct maintenance programs based on US Army best practices. The intent is not to force US Army practices on the but to help to develop their own unique programs/solutions guided by the TAFT member’s experience.
Assist TAFT members may perform maintenance tasks alongside of personnel so long as their actions are serving an instructional purpose. The TAFT contractors act as on-site Subject Matter Experts and can opine, troubleshoot, and/or provide or reach back to USG for solutions. The TAFT Contractors do not assume any responsibilities for operational rates or certification of units.
Support Can perform critical roles as Primary Instructor or Maintenance Supervisor, while personnel initially lack the experience to perform the duties. Can provide support, training, and mentorship to personnel identified to gain the expertise needed to be assume the role as the partner.
