Inter-American Defense Board

The Inter-American Defense Board (IADB) is a cooperative organization formed by countries in the Americas to promote regional security and defense collaboration. Established in 1942, its goal is to strengthen military and security practices through joint planning, training, and sharing of information among member nations. The IADB helps improve regional stability by fostering dialogue on defense issues, supporting disaster response efforts, and enhancing cooperation against common security threats. It serves as a platform for military leaders and defense officials from North, Central, and South America to work together in maintaining peace and security across the Hemisphere.
