Official Descriptions of Aid from International Military Education and Training
Document: International Narcotics Control Strategy Report
Country: Uruguay
Bilateral Cooperation. U.S. strategy has been to prevent Uruguay from becoming a major narcotics transit or processing country. USG assistance to the GOU in 2008 included support to demand reduction programs; support for narcotics interdiction operations, including provision of equipment; and assistance with police training. The increase of International Military Education and Training (IMET) funds in FY 2008 permitted the USG to provide maritime law enforcement leadership, port security, and border security training to the Uruguayan Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines. IMET in 2008 also included a legal seminar on border security and a river patrol operations course. Assistance in the effective use of radar systems is also being provided through the State Partners program.

Country: Western Hemisphere Regional
The IMET program's traditional purpose of promoting more professional militaries around the world through training and education has taken on greater importance as an effective means to strengthen military alliances and the international coalition against terrorism. IMET has made partner nation militaries more efficient and effective and has improved interoperability with U.S., NATO, and regional coalitions. Recipients of IMET training include foreign military personnel and civilian government and NGO personnel whose participation contributes to improved civil-military relations, civilian control of the military, and human rights. It is a low- cost, grant component of the U.S. security assistance program, and is funded through the Department of State's International Affairs budget. Western Hemisphere countries traditionally rely heavily on IMET to support their students' attendance.
IMET Funding. The American Service Members Protection Act (ASPA) prohibits countries that are parties to the International Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty from receiving IMET and other forms of U.S. security assistance unless they sign "Article 98 agreements" with the United States agreeing not to surrender U.S. nationals to the ICC without the U.S. Government's consent. Thirteen countries in the Hemisphere have signed Article 98 agreements, but IMET funding was suspended for another 12 countries, reducing participation in WHINSEC. In late 2006, these sanctions were lifted. As a result, WHINSEC anticipates training students from additional countries.
Expanded IMET (E-IMET). This subset of the overall IMET program has the same basic goals as IMET, but qualifying courses concentrate specifically on defense resource management, the principle of civilian control of the military, cooperation between military and law enforcement personnel with respect to counter-narcotics law enforcement efforts, and improving military justice systems and procedures in accordance with internationally recognized human rights. Five WHINSEC courses have been certified to receive E-IMET funding: Human Rights Instructor, Civil Military Operations, Democratic Sustainment, International Operational Law, and Resource Management and Logistics.

We also facilitate International Military Education and Training (IMET), which invests in the professional development of key military officers and senior enlisted leaders of our partners. IMET improves the professionalism and interoperability of partner military and defense forces and builds a sense of mutual understanding between the United States armed forces and the partner nation armed services. Training at our security institutions continues to be very popular and beneficial to our partners in the region, and access to funded billets at U.S. schools significantly diminishes the draw of extra-hemispheric military influence.
International Military Education and Training:
Program DescriptionIMET funding for Latin America was used to send students to approximately 150 U.S. military training institutions throughout the United States. A wide variety of courses for U.S. personnel – some 2,000, including topics ranging from counterintelligence to helicopter repair to military justice systems – qualify for IMET funding. On occasion, IMET-funded programs are conducted in the recipient country by mobile education and training teams, U.S. instructors who go to foreign countries to teach courses to groups of students in their native language.
Created in 1976, IMET is often considered to be the "traditional" U.S. military training program. Funded though the foreign aid appropriations process, IMET is overseen by the State Department and implemented by the Defense Department.
In 1998, about 30 percent of IMET funding in Latin America went to "expanded IMET" (E-IMET). A subset of IMET, E-IMET funds non-combat courses that are available to some foreign civilians as well as to military personnel. Among Latin American countries (other than Cuba), only Guatemala faces restrictions on its IMET participation.
International Military Education and Training:
LawAccording to Section 541 of the FAA, IMET-funded training is intended:
- To encourage effective and mutually beneficial relations and increased understanding between the United States and foreign countries in furtherance of the goals of international peace and security;
- To improve the ability of participating foreign countries to utilize their resources, including defense articles and defense services obtained by them from the United States, with maximum effectiveness, thereby contributing to greater self-reliance by such countries; and
- To increase the awareness of nationals of foreign countries participating in such activities of basic issues involving internationally recognized human rights.
