International Trade and National Security partners Michael D. Faucette and Lori E. Scheetz have been appointed to the U.S. Department of State’s Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG) by the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs.

Faucette and Scheetz will serve a two-year term in DTAG, which provides recommendations on issues involving U.S. laws, policies, and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (i.e., the regulations controlling the export of defense articles, services, and related technical data), among other defense trade matters.

The DTAG, which is the only State Department advisory committee dedicated to defense trade-related topics, not only advises the Department on the ITAR and other defense trade regulations but also helps to reduce unnecessary impediments to legitimate exports to better support the defense requirements of U.S. allies.
