Section 333, Foreign Security Forces: Authority to Build Capacity, to Track Funding Beginning in Fiscal Years 25/26 to Support the Building Partner Capacity Long Term Solution [SAMM E-Change 711]

The semi-permanent program code "ZB" is assigned to track funds under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 333 (Section 333) ("Foreign Security Forces: Authority to Build Capacity"). In addition, "ZC" is assigned as an alternate code if necessary for logistics purposes if "ZB" is not sufficient. Program codes "ZD" and "ZE" are assigned for the same purposes to be used when Case Designators for "ZB" and "ZC" are exhausted. The program codes support the Building Partner Capacity Long Term Solution. The policy in the attachment is incorporated into the DSCA SAMM at https://samm.dsca.mil.

Instructions for preparation of "ZB," "ZC," "ZD," and "ZE" Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) documents will be provided along with the rest of the Building Partner Capacity Long Term Solution Guidance. Standard notes applicable to Building Partner Capacity (BPC) programs are found in the SAMM, Appendix 6, LOA Notes Listing. Funding associated with "ZB," "ZC," "ZD," and "ZE" LOAs will be fully expended, and cases will be reconciled and closed two months before the funds' cancellation date.

If you have any questions concerning this guidance or for general questions about the SAMM, please contact DSCA (Office of Strategy, Plans, and Policy, Execution Policy and Analysis Directorate (SPP/EPA)) at dsca.ncr.spp.mbx.epa@mail.mil.
