The SCO Operations Support Course helps prepare NCOs and other Operations Support staff to execute their responsibilities at an embassy SCO office.  The course will introduce students to the Security Cooperation enterprise and programs, providing an understanding of the embassy environment; diplomatic courtesies and obligations; operational support roles and responsibilities relative to the administration of Security Cooperation Programs; ethics; and physical security and counterintelligence risk mitigation.  
This course is instructor-led by DSCU's Defense SCO Institute (DSI) at DSCU Headquarters in Crystal City, Virginia. This course provides foundational information for operations support staff going to serve in embassy Security Cooperation Organizations. This course is designed for students who have never previously served in a SCO office.
