§2347c Exchange Training; Reciprocity Agreement

Summary

The President can let foreign military members attend U.S. professional military schools (not service academies) for free if the U.S. school and the foreign school agree to swap students one-for-one each fiscal year. The President can also let foreign military and civilian defense personnel attend U.S. flight training and test pilot schools for free under the same one-for-one yearly exchange rule. The President may set up cooperative programs in Southwest Asia for post-undergraduate flying, tactical leadership, and integrated air and missile defense training that let U.S. and foreign military and civilian defense people take part at no cost to participating foreign countries. The training must meet U.S. standards. Each country should provide a fair share of support unless the President waives that for U.S. national security. U.S. costs are paid from the usual agency funds, and the President must report to Congress each year on these activities.
