The following
description of the IMET program for Uruguay comes from the U.S. State Department's
April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations:1
The
requested International Military Education and Training (IMET) funding
will promote regional stability by strengthening the Uruguayan military
as a democratic institution. Participation by civilian and military
officers in the Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies and the IMET
program will help improve civil-military relations, rationalize the
defense policy planning process, make it increasingly transparent, build
civilian expertise in defense matters, and inculcate the principles
of human rights in the future generation of military leaders. Attendance
of mid to senior grade officers and non-commissioned officers at professional
development courses will facilitate the modernization and professionalism
of the armed forces. Technical and logistics training will help Uruguay
maintain and manage its defense resources, improving their ability to
operate with U.S. and international forces in peacekeeping operations,
disaster relief missions, and other joint operations.

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.
