Chemical Warfare Training in the U.S. for Foreign Military Personnel

September 25, 2007

DEAR MR. KASTENMEIR: The Secretary of
the Army has asked me to respond to your
letter concerning training of foreign nation-
als In The Chemical Warfare Program and Bi-
ological Research Program.
The U.S. Army Chemical School at Fort
McClellan, Alabama, has provided instruction
to military personnel from 36 foreign oun-
tries. Approval procedures and final budget-
ary approval for training are based on the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. All training
conducted by the U.S. Army for foreign coun-
tries under the Military Assistance Program
is aRproved by the United States Ambassador
and. the chief United States military repre-
sentative In the country requesting the
training. In addition, the training request
must be approved by:
a. The U.S., Unified Commander responsi-
ble for the geographical area In which the
country is located.
b. The Department of the Army for U.S.
Army conducted training.
c. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for
International Security Affairs, In coordina-
tion with the Department of State.
Final approval by the Assistant Secretary
of Defense and the Department of State is
designed to Insure that training is-conducted
within the overall foreign policy objectives of
the United States.
We do not solicit participation in these
training courses. Training is conducted i a
country desires the training, IY approval is
granted in the manner outlined above, and
If the U.S. Army has the cappbillty to provide
spaces In tne course deslred. I nave attached
a list of U.S. Army Chemical School courses
attended by foreign nationals with the in-
formation that you requested. The number
of foreign students now at the school is also
attached. As you will note from the course
descriptions, the emphasize is on defensive
aspects. However, it is not possible to separate
offensive tactics from defense since some
knowledge of the offense Is necessary to pre-
pare an adequate defense. In addition, there
can be no absolute guarantee that defensive
tactics will not have some utility In framing
offensive tactics.
Funds used to provide this training have
been primarily Military Assistance funds, al-
though many spaces have been purchased
under Foreign Military sales procedures by
the NATO countries. The tuition costs of the
various training courses vary from 560 to
$550 per space. Overall costs for Military As-
sistance Program training consists of trans-
portation, cost of living allowance, course
tuition and information program funds.
Under military sales, the country pays all
costs involved.
Some training Is provided foreign nation-
als overseas. An example Is that provided our
allies In oint exercises or within the NATO
Department of VILSECK Germay school. Our
present records do not indicate mobile train-
ing teams have been furnished. Any materials
provided would have been under the military
sales program.
There Is no plan at present to discontinue
any of. the current courses. However, no re-
quirement exists to operate courses only for
foreign students.
I trust that this information will be help-
ful to you.
Sincerely,
RAYMOND T. REID,
Colonel, S Office,
Chief oJ Legislative Laison.
