	Military Assistance and Advisory Group (MAAG)
		Note: Do not utilize this part of the Advisory Experience module before doing the background reading in Herring and responding to questions in Establishing a Common Background.
		The chief means of our involvement, during the First Indochina War, was through the advisory apparatus known as Military Assistance and Advisory Group (MAAG), first known as MAAG Indochina, and through the military's volunteer forces known as Special Forces.
		Although this aspect of the advisory experience began in the Eisenhower presidency, it was greatly expanded under the keen interest and direction of President Kennedy later.

		Many Communist military leaders perceived the war to be a stalemate and thought that continuing on their present course would bring diminishing returns, especially if their local forces were drastically weakened.
		Although the Military Assistance Command had succeeded in warding off defeat in 1965 and had gained valuable time for the South Vietnamese to concentrate their political and military resources on pacification, security in many areas of South Vietnam had improved little.
		Military police units helped root the Viet Cong out of Saigon, and Army helicopter gunships were in the air almost continuously, assisting the allied forces.

		United States assistance initially continued without interruption after the overthrow of Haile Selassie in 1974, although it was accompanied by proposals for a negotiated settlement in Eritrea.

		There was little information on the nature and scope of North Korean military assistance to Ethiopia, but most Western military observers agreed that it would be impossible for North Korea to duplicate the quantity and quality of weapons that the Soviet Union had been providing to the Mengistu regime.

		Secondly, they accepted an American plan to assist in a transition stage during which the responsibility for rebuilding the Vietnamese military could be transferred to the MAAG in an orderly fashion.

		I figure most on FR know about MAAG from Vietnam, but I'm trying to find out the organizational structure of MAAG or how to find what units were under MAAG's umbrella in the early 60's.
		The Army Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks has some information in its bibliography on China; it's a document on their site, and the link is awkward to post from Google.
		Now, there were MAAGs sent to many countries, and it is not likely that the dispatch of U.S. forces there occurred on anything like a battalion or up level (i.e., 3rd BN of the X Brigade of the Y Division did not go).

	Security Assistance Training Management Organization
		The United States Army Security Assistance Training Management Organization (usually referred to as simply "SATMO") is a U.S. Army TRADOC (Training and Doctrine Command) element specifically organized to deploy Army Security Assistance Training Teams (SATTs) OCONUS (outside of the continental United States) to support overseas SAO (Security Assistance Organization) training objectives.
		Inherent complexities of security assistance (SA), coupled with increasing resource constraints associated with the downsizing of the Army, make it important for the SAO to contact SATMO early in the planning phase and maintain contact through mission completion.
		The cost estimate is then forwarded to TRADOC's Security Assistance Training Field Activity (SATFA) and/or USASAC that use these estimates to prepare the Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA)--essentially a contract between the U.S. Government and that of the foreign country.
