U.S. Military Education and Training Aid to Indonesia: Content,Objectives and Effects

As a vital part of foreign military education and training aid, the U.S. International Military Education and Training Program (IMET) is led by the Department of State and co-managed by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and the Ministry of Defense. It aims at providing American military training and education courses to allies and friendly countries. The IMET program was founded in the 1960s and has developed a relatively complete legal system, organizational structure and operational mode, reflecting the innovation in the field of foreign security assistance. Based on the strategic value of Indonesia, the U.S. IMET program towards it mainly focuses on the three major issues: human rights, democratization reforms and anti-terrorism cooperation. Besides, resting upon the mutual recognition of the two sides, the IMET program focuses on the core interest groups in Indonesia and puts emphasis on long-term and imperceptible ideological edification and building "American identity" to promote the development of Indonesia's military education and training programs. As a result, it plays an important role as the foreign military education and training aid in achieving the foreign strategic goals of the donor country.
