1. - Program Description
 

S2282.1.1. Effective in fiscal year (FY) 2017, P.L. 113-291, Section 2282 was repealed and replaced with 10 U.S.C. 333. Section 2282 Programs in progress at the time of repeal may continue to execute under the authorities and policies of Section 2282.

S2282.1.2. From December 16, 2024 until September 19, 2017, the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), with the concurrence of the Secretary of State (SECSTATE), had the authority under Section 2282 to provide equipment, supplies, defense services, training, and small-scale military construction to build the capacity of a Benefitting Partner's military forces participating in or supporting on-going allied or coalition stability operations that benefit the national security interests of the U.S. or to conduct counterterrorism operations. Section 2282 authority could also be used to build the capacity of a Benefitting Partner's security, maritime, and border security forces that conduct counterterrorism operations. The Section 2282 Program was funded with Operations and Maintenance (O&M) appropriations or other funds made available to carry out programs on an annual basis. Similar to the preceding Section 1206 authority, the Combatant Command (CCMD) submitted Section 2282 proposals to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict (OASD (SO/LIC)) to specify requirements.

S2282.1.3. DSCA oversaw a feasibility review of the proposals to identify procurement and other issues with CCMDs training and equipment lists, which served as the memorandum of request (MOR). The proposals were simultaneously reviewed and prioritized by OASD (SO/LIC), the Joint Staff (JS), and Department of States (State); approved by the SECDEF; and then submitted for Congressional Notification (CN). Once Congress approved a Section 2282 proposal, it became an approved Section 2282 program ready for execution. An approved Section 2282 program may consist of multiple interrelated Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) managed by different executing offices and possibly different Implementing Agencies (IAs) to provide the desired capability. The IAs developed Section 2282 program cases as rapidly as possible to meet the short timelines of the Section 2282 process and maximize the time remaining for contracting actions. The CCMDs and Security Cooperation Organizations (SCOs) remained actively engaged and responsive to support the case development efforts. At the time the DSCA (Office of International Operations, Global Capability Development Division (IOPS/GCD)) centrally managed Section 2282 programs and tracks all cases from inception to case closure, including the timely and reliable delivery of defense articles and services.

S2282.1.4. Section 2282 contained two time-limited exceptions to the bona fide needs rule, Cross Fiscal Year (CFY) Authority, and Full Operational Capability (FOC). Refer to the Section 333 Program for guidance.

S2282.1.5. The SECDEF, with the concurrence of the SECSTATE, was authorized to conduct or support a program or programs as follows:

  • To build the capacity of a Benefitting Partner's military forces in order for that partner to:
    • Conduct counterterrorism operations; or
    • Participate in or support on-going allied or coalition military or stability operations that benefit the national security interests of the United States.
  • To build the capacity of a Benefitting Partner's maritime or border security forces to conduct counterterrorism operations.
  • To build the capacity of a Benefitting Partner's security forces that have among their functional responsibilities a counterterrorism mission in order for such forces to conduct counterterrorism operations.

S2282.1.6. Types of Capacity Building.

S2282.1.6.1. Authorized Elements. A program under Section S2282.1.1. may include the provision of equipment, supplies, training, defense services, and small-scale military construction.
