Abstract	This report presents results of a study team's analysis of the extent to which International Military Education and Training (IMET) serves U.S. interests. It describes whether IMET has done the following: (1) facilitated access to senior military and political leaders and promoted communication between the United States and recipient countries; (2) provided an effective introduction to U.S. political values; (3) contributed to improving political-military relations in recipient countries; and (4) served as an important asset for interoperability in coalition peace and humanitarian assistance operations. The analysis of IMET's effectiveness is organized in five parts: the legislative roots of the program and its relationship to foreign military sales; the structure of IMET in FY 1995, emphasizing the importance of IMET's original synergy of English language training, a professional course of instruction conducted in the United States, and the Department of Defense's Informational Program; an assessment of the effectiveness of international military educational and training made possible by IMET and other funding options; contributions toward achieving regional stability, improving multilateral cooperative military relationships with the United States, and supporting U.S. diplomatic interests overseas and economic interests at home; and making a good program better. The report concludes that IMET is one of the few foreign-aid initiatives that Congress continues to consider relevant, useful, and worthy of funding. (Contains 68 notes.) (YLB)
