Defense Cooperation Agreements

Defense Cooperation Agreements (DCAs) are formal agreements between countries that set the terms for military collaboration. They establish how they will work together on security, training, resource sharing, and strategic partnerships. DCAs clarify legal and logistical arrangements, such as the presence of troops or military equipment, ensuring both sides understand their rights and responsibilities. These agreements help strengthen mutual security, foster stability, and enhance defense capabilities, often serving as a foundation for broader diplomatic and military collaboration between nations.
