The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) was created in the mid-80's as a public/private partnership between the Department of State and private US corporations with a presence overseas. OSAC continues to grow and countries with a robust OSAC program find that their membership provides them with access to the expert security knowledge of the Diplomatic Security Service special agents serving as Regional Security Officers overseas.
