Funding and appropriated programs
Authorities and Funding
The legal architecture underneath every transfer, and the reason two similar programs can behave completely differently. Three pieces on the difference between security cooperation and security assistance, who holds which authority across the American government, and where the money comes from and when it stops being available.
Three pieces in this topic
Security cooperation and security assistance
Not synonyms. One is a set of Title 22 programs; the other is everything the defense department does.
02Who holds which authority
The decisions that stop a sale, the offices that execute one, and the department nobody expects to be involved.
03Where the money comes from, and when it runs out
Two titles, two moments of obligation, and a date after which the funds are simply gone.
