	US International Security Assistance Education and Training
		Training militaries in human rights; non-combat peacekeeping skills, and a military doctrine based on civilian control and the rule of law could serve a valuable purpose in some states.
		Training through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, in which countries pay for their own training, enables friendly countries to learn operation, maintenance and management of the sophisticated equipment they purchase from the U.S. FMS training sometimes includes tactical training as well.
		It is also thought that training contributes to interoperability with allies and friends, further enhancing relations by guaranteeing the utility of weapons sales to the purchasing country in exchange for base rights, ports of call, use of airspace during emergencies, and other opportunities.

	Military Education Needs Reform
		Yet, the training these officers now receive has changed little since the end of the Cold War, when enemies were known, battles were planned and capabilities were fully anticipated.

	Terrorism - U.S. Foreign Military Training: A Shift in Focus
