Military Assistance Advisory Groups (MAAG)

Military Assistance Advisory Groups (MAAGs) are specialized units established by a country to provide military guidance, training, and support to allied nations. Their primary role is to help improve the defense capabilities of the host country through advisory services, joint exercises, and strategic planning, rather than direct combat involvement. MAAGs facilitate military cooperation, foster strong defense relationships, and ensure allies can maintain their security independently. They operate diplomatically, working closely with staff and commanders to strengthen military professionalism and operational effectiveness in partner nations.
