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

International Military Education and Training (IMET) funding will assist the GOJ [Government of Jamaica] by providing training programs that focus on professionalizing their military, developing future leaders, inculcating a better capability in resource management, and instilling a greater respect for human rights among service members.


IMET courses taken by Jamaica 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.
