C10.1.1. The International Education and Training purpose Program offers education and training to foreign governments and international organizations at Department of Defense (DoD) schools, to include DoD-contracted facilities and selected Department of Homeland Security (Coast Guard) facilities. In this Chapter, the term “training” refers to both education and training, unless otherwise explicitly stated. Training includes formal, informal, correspondence or other forms of distance learning, and computer-aided instruction taught in the United States or overseas. Eligible foreign governments or international organizations may purchase training with their national funds through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program or obtain training using funds provided by security cooperation (SC) appropriations such as the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program, Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and Peacekeeping Operations (PKO).

C10.1.2. Eligible foreign governments or international organizations may also receive training through programs authorized in Title 10 of the USC and funded through Defense appropriations, such as the Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program (CTFP), and Building Partners Capacity (BPC) programs. Training is an integral part of a successful weapon system program, and must be considered when estimating delivery dates of equipment. Adjustments to deliveries may be necessary to ensure that foreign personnel have the training and skills to meet operational requirements. Training programs must consider the availability of personnel; skills to be developed, to include English Language Training (ELT); and the time required to plan, implement, and complete the program. The Joint Security Cooperation Education and Training Regulation (JSCET), (Army Regulation (AR) 12-15, Secretary of the Navy Instruction 4950.4B, Air Force Instruction (AFI) 16-105), provides detailed descriptions of the programs and procedures listed in this chapter.
