  SPP: Banderia’s partner state has multiple SPP missions throughout the year,
  including both Army and Air National Guard. They are highly involved in Banderia’s
  noncommissioned officer academy, as well as the engineer, ordnance, and artillery
  schools. These relationships are leveraged in part to support security sector reform
  efforts under the purview of the DOS. The state also has a liaison officer assigned to
  the embassy.
  SFAB: The SFAB is regionally aligned to the Banderian AOR. It has a persistent
  presence in Banderia consisting of three SFA advisor teams that rotate every 6
  months. One works with the generating force to help develop the training pipeline for
  multiple military occupational specialties, one is embedded with a Banderian army tank
  brigade, and one is helping to establish a Banderian combat training center.
  Request for Forces: Banderia has requested specific training on both counter-
  unmanned aerial vehicles and electromagnetic warfare. Since the SFAB does not have
  these capabilities, the theater army has filled these requirements through the request
  for forces process. Forces are identified and trained at the Combat Advisor Training
  Course prior to their advising mission in Banderia. The mission is coordinated through
  the security cooperation organization and regionally aligned SFAB, and the advisor
  forces are under operational control to the SFAB for the duration of the mission.
  Regionally aligned forces: Regionally aligned forces conduct a major training
  exercise with the Banderian military once every two years. This military engagement
  is an opportunity to showcase and test multinational interoperability in LSCO by
  maneuvering large elements across Banderia. To enable these exercises, multiple
  agreements have been made with the government of Banderia.
  ARSOF: ARSOF also has advisory elements in country working with the Banderian
  special forces. This advisory effort is fully synchronized with the SPP, SFA advisor
  teams, and Air Force advisory efforts, and the Banderian special forces participate in
  the bi-annual major exercise along with ARSOF.
  Steady State: The security cooperation organization working with the other SC
  practitioners in Banderia has developed and manages a SC common operational
  picture for the country. This common operational picture effectively displays capability,
  capacity, and interoperability across the executive, generating, and operating forces
  for the Banderian army and other branches, as well as access to key terrain across all
  domains. This common operational picture directly informs the theater army and
  combatant command regional SC common operational pictures. These regional SC
  common operational pictures allow senior leaders to effectively understand and
  visualize the interplay of regional military capabilities, capacity, interoperability, and
  access within the context of specific theater contingency plans. This also allows senior
  leaders to understand, visualize, decide, and direct further SC activities to create
  conditions enabling more effective execution of contingency plans, as well as create
  options for branches and sequels to contingency plans.
  TRANSITION TO CRISIS OR ARMED CONFLICT
  3-34. SC practitioners must always be ready to immediately transition to conflict since the transition from
  competition to crisis may occur rapidly and with little to no warning. As the U.S. military footprint becomes
  more regionally aligned, it will be more important to build, maintain, leverage, and expand partner nation
  relationships and security capacity gained during competition to mitigate the lack of response time during
