C10.4.1. The Security Assistance Network (SAN). The SAN is the international security cooperation (SC) database and communications network that provides the Security Cooperation Offices (SCOs) and others in the SC community access to SC financial and logistics management systems, information via various bulletin boards, and a library system for large files. The SAN provides the primary interface for the input and output of data from all military departments (MILDEPs), SCO, and International Military Student Office (IMSO). Most importantly, the SAN is where the SCO training manager obtains data used for the Security Cooperation Training Management System (SC-TMS). Other important tasks executed on the SAN include: maintaining current MILDEP country training manager and IMSO contact information and country profile information; generating invitational travel orders via SC-TMS; accessing training data from the MILDEPS; viewing remarks entered by IMSOs and MILDEPs; viewing current status of students; and submitting Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program (CTFP) nomination forms. All SCOs and IMSOs must use the SAN and its components to perform their assigned SC training management functions. See Chapter 13. for more information on the SAN.

C10.4.2. Security Cooperation Training Management System (SC-TMS). SC-TMS is located on the SAN. It is a software program that operates on a network, and is used by the SC training community for the day-to-day management of training programs. Access to SC-TMS requires authorization by Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), Combatant Commands (CCMDs), or MILDEPs. SC-TMS capabilities include computer-generated ITOs; IMS information forms; training course database viewing and searching; reports, to include upcoming course start dates and FMS and IMET training program summary reports; modifying student data records; and automatic upload of IMS data to the SAN, to include student arrival information and detailed point of contact information for the SC training community.

C10.4.3. Training Military Articles and Services Listings (T-MASL). The T-MASL is the master list of formal training available to the international community. It contains course descriptions, prerequisites, duration (in weeks), location, cost, English language prerequisites and a training analysis code signifying the type of training. See Table C10.T18. for training analysis codes (TAC). The T-MASL is updated on a regular basis and provided through the SAN. Miscellaneous tables and databases, such as Expanded International Military Education and Training (E-IMET) courses, location codes, and Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) are updated along with the T-MASL.

C10.4.4. Worksheet Control Number (WCN). The WCN is a four-digit identifier, used in conjunction with the training analysis codes, to identify each IMS or training team incorporated into a training program. The WCN is assigned when the MILDEP programs a specific course requested by a SCO for a given country. Sequential training programmed for the same IMS is indicated by an alphabetic suffix to the WCN and commonly referred to as a training line. See Table C10.T18.

C10.4.5. Standard Training List (STL). The consolidation of requested training for a country is called an STL. An STL is a list of a country’s training, by program type, by fiscal year (FY) for each MILDEP.

C10.4.6. Integrated Standard Training List (ISTL). An ISTL integrates all of the MILDEPs’ training together by program, by FY for a particular country into a single list. The ISTL is posted on the SAN and updated regularly.

C10.4.7. Invitational Travel Orders (ITO). The SC-TMS generated ITO is the controlling document provided to each IMS attending DoD provided SC training. ITOs containing the names of multiple students are not permitted. No IMS may enter SC-sponsored training without an approved and proper ITO. The ITO identifies where and when the IMS is authorized to receive training, provides the accounting information to pay for the training, and provides guidance for determining the extent of funded support, student status, and privileges that the IMS is authorized while attending DoD training.
