  AFRICAN PEACEKEEPING RAPID RESPONSE PARTNERSHIP
  4-44. This section builds international peacekeeping capacity and promotes regional security operations so
  that African partner nations can execute their own internal security responsibilities and provide support for
  African Union/United Nations sponsored peace operations in Africa.
  SPECIAL FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AUTHORITIES
  4-45. In addition to the aforementioned authorities, Congress has passed a number of special foreign
  assistance authorities through the NDAA that are not made permanent law within the USC, but rather are
  stand-alone authorities contained in annual authorization and appropriation acts. These special authorities
  often contain “dual key” or co-approval provisions that grant a certain foreign assistance authority to the
  Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State (or in some cases, with the concurrence
  of the appropriate chief of mission). Examples include the—
  * European Deterrence Initiative.
  * Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
  * Pacific Deterrence Initiative.
  EUROPEAN DETERRENCE INITIATIVE
  4-46. The European Deterrence Initiative enhances the U.S. deterrence posture, increases the readiness and
  responsiveness of U.S. forces in Europe, supports the collective defense and security of NATO allies, and
  bolsters the security and capacity of U.S. allies and partners.
  UKRAINE SECURITY ASSISTANCE INITIATIVE
  4-47. The Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative provides support for Ukraine and various Partnership for
  Peace nations to help them develop combat capability to preserve their sovereignty and territorial integrity
  against Russian and Russian-backed separatist aggression and to support agreed-upon ceasefire agreements.
  PACIFIC DETERRENCE INITIATIVE
  4-48. The Pacific Deterrence Initiative provides support for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command SC activities that
  are designed to—
  * Enhance the structure and alignment of the joint force in the Indo-Pacific, particularly west of the
  international date line.
  * Enhance the responsiveness and resiliency of the U.S. forces through modernization and
  improvements to infrastructure and logistics.
  * Build the defense and security capabilities, capacity, and cooperation of allies and partners’
  authority for humanitarian assistance, SA, or combined exercise costs.
