The Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)
The DTAG, established as a continuing committee under the authority of 22 U.S.C. 2656 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
provides the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs with a formal channel for regular consultation and coordination with U.S.
private sector defense exporters and defense trade specialists on issues involving U.S. laws, policies, and regulations for
munitions exports. The DTAG advises the Bureau on its support for and regulation of defense trade to help ensure that impediments
to legitimate exports are reduced while the foreign policy and national security interests of the U.S. continue to be protected
and advanced in accordance with the Arms Export Control Act, as amended.
Members are appointed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs on the basis of individual substantive
and technical expertise and qualifications, and are drawn from a representative cross-section of U.S. defense industry,
association, academic, and foundation personnel, including appropriate technical and military experts.
