The Training Schools
The United States trains at least 100,000 foreign soldiers and police from more than 150countries each year at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. Tens of thousands study in the US atthe approximately 275 known military schools and installations that provide training; the UStrains many more in their own nations through a variety of programs. Closure of the USArmy's recently renamed School of the Americas (SOA) has been the principal focus to dateof campaigners concerned about the human rights impact of US military and police training.But SOA is just the tip of the iceberg. The below map and list on the back side of this graphicrepresent only a partial listing of all the schools and installations in the US that provideforeign military training.
US Army Command and General Staff College, Ft. Leavenworth, KS
The Command and General StaffCollege trains over 22,000 USand foreign officers annually tolead combat units. This schoolteaches one of the main coursestaught at the infamous School ofthe Americas, but in Englishrather than Spanish. In 2000-2001, 90 soldiers from 79 countriesattended the school. Recentgraduates came from Albania,Algeria, Belarus, Bosnia, Colombia,Mali, Senegal, Tunisia, Turkey,Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
US Army Intelligence Center and School, Ft. Huachuca, AZ
This school teaches the range ofmodern military intelligencecourses, including counterintelligence,"human intelligencebasic, "and "intelligence in combating terrorism." Eighty-two foreign military students attended in FY 1998, and 123 were slated to attend in 1999. The largest national contingents were from Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
US Army JFK Special Warfare Center and School, Ft. Bragg, NC
Described in one Pentagon publicationas "the Army's special operationsuniversity," Ft. Bragg is thehome of the US Army SpecialForces (the "Green Berets"), troopsthat specialize in unconventionalwarfare and psychological operations.These units were activelyengaged in the counterinsurgencywars of the 1960s-80s, traininginsurgent and state affiliated paramilitaryforces, and they have frequentlyparticipated in covert operationsrun by the intelligence community.Foreign officers fromColombia, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt,Mexico, Philippines, Nepal, Thailand,Turkey and other countries studiedat Ft. Bragg in recent years.
US Army School of the Americas, Ft. Benning, GA
For more than a decade, SOA (renamed the "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation") has been the focus of a citizen campaign to close it down because of the widespread commission of human rights violations by former SOA students. It was revealed in 1996 that this school had used manuals that advocated execution, torture and blackmail as recently as 1991. Today SOA/ WHINSEC provides Spanish language instruction in 53 courses. About 600 soldiers from Latin American militaries attend this school annually. The SOA Watch campaign's organizing and lobbying efforts have forced the Army to increase the level of transparency around SOA's curriculum, to institutionalize human rights training, and to establish internal and external oversight mechanisms at the school.
