travel request and travel arrangements. Finally, the web based portal 
uses a relational database to record, manage and report information 
about students, personnel, travel. Reports of annual training of 
Foreign nationals to Congress as required by 22 U.S. Code 2394 (Foreign 
Assistance Act (FAA)) and 22 U.S. Code 2770A (Arms Export Control Act 
(AECA)).

Government, Foreign Service nationals and industry students, guest 
speakers and lecturers involved in the Security Cooperation initiatives 
as prescribed by the President of the United States, Congress and 
Departments of State and Defense. Security Cooperation and Assistance 
programs as authorized by the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA), and the 
Arms Export Control Act (AECA) are required to be administered by 
qualified personnel receiving formal education through the Defense 
Institute of Security Assistance Management (DISAM) or other authorized 
Security Cooperation agencies. If the information collected on the 
student registration form is not collected, personnel looking to verify 
the qualifications of individuals in the Security Cooperation workforce 
database on the SAN, DISAM Student Database or the DISAM Personnel 
Database would be unable to match personnel to training and ensure 
compliance with DepSecDef directive and federal law requiring the 
reporting of training of foreign nationals (ref. AECA). The DISAM 
Personnel Database in conjunction with the Travel Forms maintains 
records of the personnel TDY travel and reimbursement as required by 
federal law and DoD regulations.
