Updates to Chapter 10 Foreign Military Training Report Requirements and Responsibilities.

1. Update Chapter 10, Section C10.21.2. Foreign Military Training Report (and subsections) as follows:

   From:

   C10.21.2. Foreign Military Training Report. The Foreign Assistance Act (FAA), Section 656 (22 U.S.C. 2416) and the annual Foreign Operations Appropriations Act require the Secretary of DefenseWar and Secretary of State to jointly prepare and submit the Foreign Military Training Report (FMTR) to the appropriate Congressional committees a report on all military training provided to foreign military personnel by the DoD, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), DoW and Department of State (State) during the previous fiscal year (FY) and all such training proposed for the current FY. For the purpose of this report, "training" is defined as:

   C10.21.2.1. Definition of Training. In accordance with Foreign Assistance Act, Section 644(n) (22 U.S.C. 2403, Section 2403(n)), military training provided to foreign military personnel encompasses all "military education and training" which "includes formal or informal instruction of foreign students in the United States or overseas by officers or employees of the United States, contract technicians, contractors (including instruction at civilian institutions), or by correspondence courses, technical, educational, or information publications and media of all kinds, training aids, orientation, and military advice to foreign military units and forces." This definition includes any activity where a significant objective is the transfer of knowledge or skills (related to the performance of tasks of a military or defense nature) to units or individuals of foreign armed forces or foreign Ministry of Defense (MoD) civilians. This definition includes only education and training events. It does not include military exercises. The timeline (See Table C10.T19.), ensures this report is compiled and submitted to Congress to meet the legislated deadline.

   C10.21.2.1.1. Third Party Training. Any training occurring as the result of USG funds appropriated to the Department of War or the Department of State to foreign partners is subject to inclusion in this report. The data must include the country providing the training as well as the recipient country.

   C10.21.2.1.2. Exclusions. Military exercises, Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET), and institutional advising events are not included in this report.

   C10.21.2.2. Description of Required Data Inputs. For each reportable event, data providers must properly record: the benefiting partner (country or territory name), the number of international military students and their units of operation, the dates and location of training, and the U.S. military units involved in each activity. DSCA may collect additional training data in the annual data call to meet additional reporting requirements.

   C10.21.2.3. Program Applicability. If a training event occurs under a reportable authority or program and it meets the definition of training, then it must be reported. See Table Table C10.T19. for a list of applicable programs.

   C10.21.2.4. Data Requirements and Responsibilities for Input. Comprehensive reporting requirements are a MILGP responsibility. MILGPs are required to ensure that all reportable training conducted in their AOR, regardless of training provider or funding authority, is accurately tracked in SC-TMS in real-time. They are responsible for review and approval of all training data in their AOR and for making timely updates to inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent data. Implementing Agencies are required to support MILGPs in ensuring corrections, updates, or revisions to training data is completed in a timely manner.

   C10.21.2.4.1. Case Managed Training Data. U.S. Combatant Commands (CCMDs) should coordinate MILGP completion of training data in the Security Assistance Network Web (SANWeb) SC-TMS database on a continual basis. It is the responsibility of Implementing Agencies to regularly review and update training data that resides in the Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS). The data should be uploaded in real-time and all data should be finalized in SC-TMS once a training event has been completed. CCMDs and MILGPs should ensure this data is continuously reviewed and validated year-round for both International Military Student (IMS) and Team training tracks.

   C10.21.2.4.2. Non-Case Managed Training Data. All reportable training events that are not administered by the U.S. Military Department (MILDEP) Security Assistance organizations and funding or training requirements that are not processed within DSAMS must be entered by the MILGP in SC-TMS via the non-Case Managed tab. Data providers must share all data from the training event directly with the MILGP as soon as the activity has been completed.

   C10.21.2.4.3. Classified Training Data. Classified training data must be submitted to DSCA via DoW SIPRNET with a copy of the Original Classification Authority (OCA). The OCA is required for DSCA to classify the report properly (see Executive Order 13526 "Classified National Security Information," December 29, 2009).

   C10.21.2.4.4. DoW Regional Centers and Service Academy Data. DoW Regional Centers must ensure their data is shared with DSCA in accordance with the best practices outlined in the annual FMTR Data Call Memo. The Service Academies must provide support in validating IMS data in SC-TMS and ensure that pricing data is accurate

   C10.21.2.4.5. Department of State Data. State must provide all reportable data to MILGPs on a continual basis for entry into SC-TMS. MILGPs maintain responsibility for ensuring that State data is validated and tracked in SC-TMS.

   C10.21.2.5. Report Preparation. All reportable training activities must be shared with and collected by DSCA to prepare the FMTR. At the end of the fiscal year, DSCA issues the annual FMTR Data Call tasking message outlining detailed reporting procedures and administrative guidance for the report. Upon receipt of the tasking message, the CCMDs and MILDEPs will ensure the data call message is disseminated to all MILGPs and reporting Country Program Managers so that they complete remaining training data inputs in SC-TMS and DSAMS. CCMDs are required to conduct a training data compliance review in SC-TMS correcting any errors and providing any missing information. MILDEPs are required to provide support to the CCMDs in timely verification of training data.

   C10.21.2.6. Delivery to Congress. DSCA will formally share DoW finalized inputs to State for State's review, validation, and addition of any reportable State data not previously shared with DoW. In accordance with 22 U.S.C. 2416, State must make the unclassified portions of the report available to the public on the internet (see Foreign Military Training and DoD Engagement Activities of Interest).
