The following
description of the IMET program for the member countries of the Eastern
Caribbean Regional Security System (RSS) comes from the U.S. State Department's
Congressional Presentation for Foreign Operations for Fiscal Year
1999:1
To consolidate
gains made over the past decade with regard to RSS competence, inter-operability
and usefulness for the region, U.S. support will focus on maintaining
and improving RSS equipment, capabilities and training. With this support,
the RSS can continue to play a key role in supporting U.S. policy in
the sub-region and with proper training, can provide effective interdiction
of illegal drugs and immigrants. The willingness of the RSS to provide
troops to their neighbors reduces the need for unilateral U.S. intervention
to restore stability at a government’s request.
Past funding
of IMET programs for eastern Caribbean militaries and coast guards has
contributed significantly to their professionalism. Although all RSS
countries are functioning democracies, IMET funding reinforces and strengthens
this professionalism. FY 1999 IMET funding will be used to train RSS
military personnel in counter-narcotics. disaster relief, resource management
and peacekeeping.
