Lesson Learned

Lessons Learned

The Security Cooperation Lessons Learned team is a component of the Defense Security Cooperation University’s (DSCU) Brigadier General Charles Young Institute for Security Cooperation Research and Lessons Learned (the Young Institute), located in Arlington, VA. The Security Cooperation Lessons Learned team contributes to positive change across the Security Cooperation enterprise by gathering timely and relevant observations to analyze and distill into issues requiring leader attention or best practices, to be shared with the field. The team collaborates closely with existing learning efforts and the assessment, monitoring, and evaluation community to gather and validate enterprise-wide observations. Validated observations are analyzed to identify potential issues and best practices, then disseminated to leaders across the enterprise at both the working and senior levels for discussion, decision, and action through established issue resolution mechanisms. The Security Cooperation Lessons Learned team then assists senior leaders in tracking issue resolution efforts and institutionalizing best practices. 

Mission

The Security Cooperation Lessons Learned Team leads the Security Cooperation Lessons Learned Program and delivers timely and relevant information to senior leaders and to practitioners in the field in order to resolve gaps, enhance readiness, and inform practice across the Security Cooperation enterprise.
