The Global Center supports and coordinates the activities of the five Regional Centers and members of the Global Center consortium, including the Defense Institute for International Legal Studies, the Defense Institute for Medical Operations, the Defense Language Institute English Language Center, the Joint Spcial Operations Univeristy, and the School of International Graduate Studies at the Naval Postgraduate School.
The GCSC is a functional element of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to enhance OSD policy dissemination and to increase awareness of DoD international partner education and training resources.
The GCSC maintains a common operating picture for the Regional Centers and consortium members by providing a consolidated events calendar, student management system, curriculum reviews, reporting functions, and databases of subject matter experts and lessons learned & best practices. All of these functions are available to supported activities through a password-protected internet site, using the Regional International Outreach (RIO) system. All of these functions provide the consortium members, and RCSSs and their Combatant Commands added capacity and one-stop shopping for educational programs and resources.

Opening Ceremony on 16 November 07. Above (from left), LTG (ret) Robert Ord, Director of GCSC;
Dr. Jeb Nadaner, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Partnership Strategy; and VADM (ret) Dan Oliver, President of NPS
