C10.21.1. Positions of Prominence Report (PPR). Each CCMD ensures that SCOs update PPR data annually in the CETPP prior to the CCMD SCETWG. DSCA (Programs Directorate) extracts PPR information from the CETPPs. The data is used to assess the effectiveness of the programs.
C10.21.1.1. Description of Military Ranks for Reporting Purposes. For purposes of this report, prominent military positions include all General and Flag Officers and lesser ranks when associated with positions such as chief of a military service, senior cabinet aide, senior position on the joint or general staff, commander of a training installation which would be held by a General or Flag Officer in the United States, Military Attaché to a major world capital, or commanders of elite or singular units with special tasks such as guarding the nation’s capital.
C10.21.1.2. Description of Civilian Ranks for Reporting Purposes. Civilian graduates under SC training programs achieving positions of prominence include heads of state (including royalty), cabinet and deputy cabinet ministers, ambassadors, members of parliament, chiefs of leading business enterprises, and other leaders of the civilian community. Because of the rank structures used around the world, SCOs must use best judgment in assigning a U.S. equivalent grade.
C10.21.1.3. Data Format. Data is composed of updates on individuals previously reported if his or her position or status has changed, and former students who have achieved positions of prominence since the last report. Data should be formatted as specified in the CETPP, to include country; name (last, first, middle initial); grade; U.S. equivalent grade; prominent positions held (to include all previous positions of prominence); current position; academic degree (if appropriate); specific training completed (course, place of training, rank, year(s) attended, and source of funding); and how the position was obtained (election, appointment, or other).
C10.21.2. Foreign Military Training Report. FAA, section 656 (22 U.S.C. 2416), and the annual Foreign Operations Appropriations Act require the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to jointly prepare and submit to the appropriate Congressional committees a report on all military training provided to foreign military personnel by the DoD, DHS, and DoS during the previous fiscal year and all such training proposed for the current fiscal year. For the purpose of this report, “training” is defined as any activity where a significant objective is the transfer of knowledge or skills (related to the performance of tasks of a military or defense nature) to units or individuals of the foreign armed forces or foreign MoD civilians. This definition includes both education and training. The timeline (Table C10.T17.) ensures this report is compiled and submitted to Congress to meet the legislated deadline.
C10.21.3. Training Analysis Code Assignment. Table C10.T18. shows the training analysis codes and their definitions. This Table also shows the standardized Worksheet Control Number (WCN) assignment, based on the training analysis code of the training line that is assigned to each IMET training sequence (i.e., training programmed for the same IMS). Training analysis codes are assigned to each training line (T-MASL) by the MILDEPs and are used by DoS, CCMDs, and DSCA to analyze a country’s training program, a specific CCMD, or the entire IMET program. The composition of a country’s IMET program should clearly demonstrate a linkage to country and U.S. policy considerations.
C10.21.4. Monitoring Use of IMET Graduates. SCOs monitor use of U.S.-trained personnel, with emphasis on the more critical and higher level skills through the Annual Training Report process. Annual updates to the IMS information in Appendix D of the CETPP by the appropriate host nation authorities satisfy this requirement.
