22 U.S.C. § 2349bb–2a: International…

Summary

The President may provide education and training to foreign military and civilian personnel, usually on terms that ask the country to reimburse costs when possible. The purpose is to build their ability to prevent and control dangerous proliferation and export problems by having them attend special U.S. courses. The Secretary of State is in charge of creating and running these programs and can use other U.S. agencies to pick trainees and run specific courses. Training must teach technical skills for detecting, deterring, monitoring, interdicting, and countering proliferation. It must also promote better relations and help friendly countries use their resources more effectively so they become more self-reliant. Priority should go to people from countries the Secretary of State finds are often used to move proliferation-related cargo.
