Which office is tasked with overseeing the Military Personnel Exchange Program (MPEP)?

The Military Personnel Exchange Program (MPEP) is primarily overseen by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3. This office is responsible for plans and operations, which includes the management and oversight of military personnel policies and programs related to operational readiness and joint exercises.

One of the key functions of the G-3 is to ensure that personnel participating in international exchanges are integrated effectively into military operations and that these exchanges align with broader strategic objectives. This involves not only managing the personnel aspects of the MPEP but also ensuring that the exchanges foster interoperability and strengthen alliances with partner nations.

In contrast, the other offices mentioned have distinct roles. The Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2 focuses on intelligence activities, while the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology is concerned with acquisition processes and technology management. The Office of Military Personnel Management also has a specific focus, primarily on the overall policies related to personnel management rather than the specialized exchange program that falls under the purview of oversight for operational readiness and international collaboration. This distinction clarifies why the G-3 is the appropriate office for overseeing the MPEP.
