Directions to DISAM

Welcome to the DISAM website – this as we work to make more mobile accessible! I have limited space here, but want to highlight a few items about DISAM and the website as well.

DISAM has revised its mission and vision statements – only a part of an ongoing Strategic Review of DISAM which has us looking at much of what we do in terms of business processes ...

New Green Book Version

DISAM is now using the 35th, March 2016 edition of The Management of Security Cooperation textbook. You will find the new edition linked as "Green Book" under the Publications section in the links collection at the bottom of the screen. Or you can access it from "Pubs & Other Resources" from the main menu above.

New Learning Guide

The Understanding the MAPAD learning guide is available for your use. This learning guide is designed for personnel involved in the distribution and movement of materiel to international partners through the DoD supply system. After completing this learning guide, you will have a better understanding of this electronic database of addresses, and how to use it. It can be found under the "Logistics" category in the Learning Guides section of "Online Learning/Learning Guides."

Mobile device compatible learning guides

DISAM is in the process of converting some of our learning guides to HTML5 format to better interface with mobile devices. Mobile devices must have iOS version 8 (or higher) or Android OS version 4.4 Kit Kat (or above). The following Internet browsers (and later versions) support HTML5: Internet Explorer 9; Safari 5.1; and Google Chrome 17. Learning guides that are in the HTML5 format are Understanding the MAPAD and MILSTRIP for FMS, with more on the way.

Shown below are DISAM classes scheduled for this month and/or next month. Classes are held on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio unless indicated otherwise. Please see the Class Schedule for a complete list of all upcoming classes.
