IMET: Chile
The following description of the IMET program for Chile comes from the U.S. State Department's April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations:1

The FY 2003 request for International Military Education and Training (IMET) funding will be used to bolster regional stability and democracy by contributing to GOC [Government of Chile] efforts to professionalize its armed forces and increase their interoperability with U.S. forces through the continuation of management training courses for NCOs, mid-level officers, and senior officers. Other training in equipment maintenance, logistics, and resources management also increases Chile’s ability to maintain U.S. equipment in its inventory. We have sought increased interoperability as supporting Chilean participation in international peacekeeping operations and other regional exercises.


IMET courses taken by Chilean 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.
