The program will include participants from the U.S. Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of countries in the region, covering a range of military pay grades and subject matter areas such as strategic doctrine, defense planning, and integrated air and missile defense. The program will include in-person meetings at least quarterly, and the Secretary of Defense will designate an Exchange Program Coordinator to oversee its design and implementation.
