Defense Cooperation Agreement

A Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) is a formal understanding between two countries that establishes how their military forces and resources will work together. It sets guidelines for hosting foreign military personnel, conducting joint exercises, sharing defense information, and providing logistical support. The aim is to improve mutual security, foster collaboration, and ensure operational clarity, while respecting each country's sovereignty. Essentially, it creates a framework for close military partnerships, enabling cooperation on defense matters without requiring permanent military bases or intrusive arrangements.
