      abstract = {Like the U.S. Air Force, many U.S. allies work with  partner countries on security matters, sometimes even with  the same partners, but on a smaller scale. But how, where,  and why do these allies engage the same countries? Would  working together in particular areas be worthwhile or  viable and can specific lessons be learned from their  experiences, for example, in the areas of planning,  resourcing and assessments? This report explores these  questions by examining both the positive aspects and the  challenges of the security cooperation approaches of three  U.S. allies, Australia, France, and the United Kingdom.  These three capable allies are experienced in working with  civilian counterparts and benefit from higher-level  departmental guidance. They generally do so with relatively  small budgets, leading them to learn to economize, pool  resources, and take advantage of joint and interagency  planning. These strategies can inform current U.S. thinking  on security cooperation. They also suggest venues for  further collaboration between allies, particularly in the  three key areas of staff talks, exercises, and training  followed by exercises --},
