The Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s (DSCA) Defense Security Cooperation University’s (DSCU) mission is to advance the knowledge and practice of security cooperation by producing research, analysis, and lessons learned that expand the intellectual foundations of security cooperation; and through the education, training, and development of the U.S. security cooperation workforce and the education, training, and institutional capacity building of partner nations. DSCU components sponsor research that aligns substantively with the Department of Defense Learning and Evaluation Agenda for Partnerships (LEAP) framework and the DSCU Research Agenda.

The graduate student project, “U.S. Security Cooperation Efforts in Iraq and Ukraine from 2012 to 2022: A Comparative Study,” judged that the success of U.S. security cooperation towards achieving greater partner military effectiveness in Iraq and Ukraine from 2012 to 2022 was most impacted by U.S. warfighting strengths and the ability of these strengths to address the threat faced by the partner force. The U.S. struggled in Iraq to teach Iraqi security forces how to tackle an intractable counterinsurgency that intersected with ethnosectarian and political instability; while in Ukraine, the U.S. was well postured to provide tactical and operational military support targeted towards rebuffing the advances of a conventional force. The report offers recommendations concerning leadership and combat training initiatives, U.S. understanding of the human terrain, and U.S. capability to appropriately measure achievements, which may create the conditions for greater success in generating higher levels of partner military effectiveness in future U.S. security cooperation efforts.
