Description
The United States has used military assistance to cement allied relationships and to aid in fighting insurgencies around the world. At the same time, the US has sought to further its technological superiority through the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and 'Third Offset'. As the US military becomes more technologically advanced, we ask how this has shaped military assistance. Looking at historical cases in the Philippines and El Salvador and the present case of Uganda, this paper looks at whether technological advances disrupt military assistance missions. Particular attention will be paid to the US Army Special Forces, Green Berets.
