The United States Government seeks to provide security for American citizens and interests at home and abroad through international treaties, alliances, and the active promotion of freedom, democracy, and prosperity around the world. Employing diplomacy and development assistance, the U.S. builds and strengthens relations with neighbors and allies worldwide to promote shared values and prevent, manage, and mitigate conflicts and human suffering. The Department of State and USAID work with international partners to alleviate regional instability by promoting good governance and sustainable civil institutions, and by developing professional, responsible, and accountable police and military forces. In company with U.S. allies and coalition partners, the U.S. Government (USG) helps failing, failed, and recovering states to nurture democracy, enhance stability, improve security, make key reforms and develop capable institutions. Department of State and USAID policies and programs enable partnerships to fight terrorism, the proliferation of dangerous weapons, trafficking in people and narcotics, and other criminal activities that undermine legitimate governments and threaten regional stability around the globe. The USG helps build the capacity of foreign partners through military and development assistance programs that enhance regional security and reduce demands on U.S. forces. Engagement of like-minded foreign partners contributes to and enhances the legitimacy of U.S. stabilization and reconstruction efforts. Success under the Regional Stability Strategic Goal can be seen in the expansion of NATO missions into Afghanistan, strong and growing security relationships with Japan, South Korea, India and Australia, and steady improvements in the capability of the African Union to respond to crises on the African continent. These and related efforts reduce threats created by regional instability and thereby protect the security of Americans and our interests at home and abroad.
