An excerpt from the thesis:
This thesis is a comparative study of two PSO training programs sponsored by the U.S. DoS Africa Bureau. The two programs are the former African Crisis Response Initiative (ACRI) and the current African Contingency Operations Training Assistance Program (ACOTA). The purpose statement of each program is to provide troops from African partner nations with training in military skills and with non-lethal equipment so as to enhance their capacity to conduct PSOs as representatives from troop contributing countries.
