Section I. Current Year Country:
IMET STL for FY (Current Year)
STATE IMET Projected Allocation Ceiling
1) Is the CTEPP (with annexes) updated and approved by CCMD available for review in the SAN?
Note: Avoid confusion, harmonize the data in APPENDIX H between Current FY and the Planning FY: a. Current FY What is the percentage of women in the armed forces today?
What is the percentage of women participation in IMET program?
b. Planning FY What is the percentage of women in the armed forces today?
What is the percentage of women participation in IMET program?
2) Is the Priority A Total “less than or equal to” 100% of the Current FY funding ceiling (planning estimate)?
Note: If you are over 100%, you need to cut the courses to be at or below 100%. If you have questions about the level ask DSCA for clarification. You need to watch this as you add and drop courses. The IMET SUMMARY REPORT in SCTMS9/REPORTS provides a daily update of all percentages as well as links to the various entries. If the SCO has several E-IMET Courses that begin in the 5th Quarter, CCMD will need to work with MILDEP to identify these as priorities for current year or End of Year funding.
3) Are any B Priorities identified for this year?
Note: If Yes, SCO needs to insure that your CCMD identifies these as a priority for the End of Year Review. State guidance restricts B priorities to: Invitational PME, E-IMET, or other PME (support as funds are available). State will not consider funding technical or operational training, English language instructor training, or English language labs, books, and publications with EOY IMET funding. Mobile training teams are also not executable in the fifth quarter.
