gress that the Secretary of State and the Secretary of De-

the advisability and feasibility of a joint entity to conduct

cooperation. The pilot program should— 
(1) establish one or more joint planning cells to 
conduct collaborative planning between the Depart-
ment of State and the Department of Defense for 
security assistance and security cooperation pro-
grams, projects, and activities in a specific region or 
regions; 
(2) assign personnel from relevant offices and 
agencies within each Department to staff the joint 
planning cell or cells; and 
(3) assess the advantages and disadvantages of 
collaborative interagency planning of security assist-
ance, and determine whether there are organiza-
tional, legal, policy, or resource barriers to broader 
adoption of such a model.
