Attachment: SAMM E-Change 706 - Updates to Chapter 15 and Chapter 15-Legacy
SAMM Section C15.1.7.6. is updated as follows:
Current:
C15.1.7.6. Geographic Combatant Commands. Each geographic CCMD conducts multi-year planning of BPC activities and strategies for the regions and partners within its theater of operations, documented in the Theater Security Cooperation Plan (TSCP). Each TSCP supports geographic CCMD goals and objectives for regional security and is coordinated with the U.S. Missions' plans for security assistance. Geographic CCMDs are the RA for Title 10 resources controlled by the USD(P). Geographic CCMDs generate a demand signal for Title 10 resources through generation of SSCIs, IDDs, and Five-Year Plans. The geographic CCMD also has overall responsibility for prioritizing, coordinating, monitoring, and evaluating the success of SC activities in-theater.
Revised:
C15.1.7.6. Geographic Combatant Commands. Each geographic CCMD conducts multi-year planning of security cooperation activities and strategies for the regions and partners within its area of responsibility, documented in the security cooperation annex (Annex C) and associated country-specific security cooperation (CSCS) appendices of the Combatant Command Campaign Plan. Each of these documents supports geographic CCMD goals and objectives for regional security and is coordinated with the U.S. Missions' plans for security assistance. Geographic CCMDs are the RA for Title 10 resources controlled by the USD(P). Geographic CCMDs generate a demand signal for Title 10 resources through generation of SSCIs, which include IDDs, Multi-Year Plans, and objective trees, as applicable to Section 333, Section 332, Maritime Security Initiative (MSI) and Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) authorities. State is the Requesting Authority for Title 22 PKO and provides solicitations to the SCOs each year for the following fiscal year. The SCOs generate a demand signal for Title 22 resources through generation of PKO proposals to State and inform the geographic CCMD security cooperation planners. The geographic CCMD also has overall responsibility for prioritizing, assessing, coordinating, monitoring, and evaluating the success of SC activities in-theater. The geographic CCMD is responsible for semi-annual reviews of Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP)/Security Cooperation Management Suite (SCMS)/Shipment Tracking Reports to ensure that the BPC materiel transfer documents are uploaded in SCIP/SCMS within 30 days of title transfer (see Table C15.T1. Row #10). If the documents are not uploaded, the CCMD informs DSCA (IOPS/GCD).
