Additional, information needs to be presented to different audiences, to include SES and Flag Officer level, and various DoD and Department of State officials, to obtain buy-in and concurrence.

·         Support the processing of export licensing decisions, and any coordination necessary into higher-level policy frameworks, such as ENDP, TTSARB and LO/CLO.
