Military Assistance Advisory Group

The Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) is a U.S. military unit formed to provide training, advice, and support to the armed forces of a foreign country. Its goal is to help these nations develop their military capabilities, improve organization, and enhance security cooperation. MAAGs typically operate discreetly, working closely with host nation military leaders to share expertise and promote stability. These groups often function as a liaison, ensuring that U.S. military assistance aligns with broader foreign policy objectives and that the partner country's armed forces can effectively meet their security needs.
