The Institute for Security Governance (ISG)

Established in April 2019, ISG is a component of the Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) and directly supports the Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s (DSCA) mission of advancing US national security and foreign policy interests by building the capacity of foreign security forces to respond to shared challenges. As the Department of Defense’s lead implementer for Institutional Capacity Building (ICB) internationally and within the US, ISG's mission and vision are to further align ICB innovation, leadership, and objectives to maximize DSCA's capacity and flexibility to execute its mission as mandated by Congress and the Secretary of Defense.
