Defense Attache Offices

Defense Attaché Offices (DAOs) are military establishments located within embassies around the world. They serve as a bridge between a country's defense forces and foreign military counterparts. DAOs provide political-military advice, facilitate military cooperation, and enhance relationships with host nations. They often share vital information on security and defense matters, assist in arms sales, and help coordinate joint training exercises. The personnel, usually military officers, represent the interests of their home country while fostering mutual understanding and collaboration in defense-related issues.
