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

FY 2003 International Military Education and Training (IMET) funds will provide professional and technical training in areas of mutual concern, including strengthening military command and technical capabilities, human rights standards, resource management, and English-language skills. IMET’s effectiveness will be measured in part by the promotion of U.S.-trained officers and civilian personnel to positions of leadership and command, increased interoperability and cooperation in joint military operations, and effectiveness in counterdrug and other law enforcement support missions.


IMET courses taken by Mexican personnel, 2000:2

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.
