Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC)

Major Programs

A member of the U.S. Country Team, the ODC is responsible for the full range of defense cooperation activities in Germany. Chief among these activities is the support of U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) of defense articles, services and training. Germany has procured and continues to support many of its most important armaments systems through FMS cases and sends hundreds of its soldiers, sailors and officers to the United States for training every year.

Other areas of defense cooperation include armaments research, development and production, testing and evaluation programs, defense industrial cooperation, cooperative logistics, direct commercial sales and the international transfer of defense articles from various sources.

With its long history working with the Bundeswehr, the Federal Ministry of Defense and industry, ODC Germany is an authoritative, in-country source of information and contracts.
