The following
description of the IMET program for Bolivia comes from the U.S. State Department's
April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations:1
International Military Education and Training (IMET) funds will provide
professional military education to key Bolivian military personnel,
principally through attendance at U.S. military command and staff colleges,
with focus on civil-military relations, resource management, and democratic
institution building.
IMET
courses taken by Bolivian personnel, 2001:2
Funding amounts
and numbers of students may not match the numbers indicated in the table
on the main IMET page. This owes to (1) discrepancies
between two Department of Defense source documents, and/or (2) the possibility
that some students took more than one course.
