The US Department of Defense has reorganized two pivotal agencies under its Office of Acquisition and Sustainment to streamline foreign military sales and improve oversight of technology transfers. The restructuring places the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and the Defense Technology Security Administration under consolidated management. This alignment is intended to simplify contracting procedures, reduce administrative delays, and strengthen coordination between export approvals and technology security assessments. Officials noted that the strategy aims to enhance efficiency in global arms transactions while preserving safeguards for sensitive technologies. Additionally, the move is expected to reinforce the US defense industrial base by fostering predictable export processes and stronger partnerships with allied nations.
