  ACCESS
  2-24. Physical access is the ability to project military force into an operational area with sufficient freedom
  of action to accomplish the mission. National security strategy requires the United States to maintain access
  around the globe, including access to information and intelligence (JP 3-20).
  2-25. SFA and other SC activities represent an important investment and commitment by the United States
  into the security apparatus of the partner nation. The willingness of the United States to commit resources
  encourages partner willingness to provide access in support of U.S. strategic requirements. Examples of
  partner nation access activities from JP 3-20 include—
  * Providing a forward basing agreement, including access, permissions, and overflight of sovereign
  territory, airspace, territorial waters, bases, and facilities (for example, a secure port or airfield) to
  include enabling host-nation reception and onward movement distribution processes.
  * Sharing information on internal security challenges.
  * Providing permission for entry of U.S. forces through a defense cooperation agreement, diplomatic
  note, or status-of-force agreement with the USG.
  * Sharing resources and technology via DOD international armaments cooperation programs.
  * Supplying intelligence in support of U.S. requirements.
