Leaked Data Reveal How the U.S. Trains Vast Numbers of Foreign Soldiers and Police With Little Oversight | 13 July 2016 | A joint investigation by The Intercept and 100Reporters reveals the chaotic and largely unknown details of a vast constellation of global training exercises, operations, facilities, and schools – a shadowy network of U.S. programs that every year provides instruction and assistance to approximately 200,000 foreign soldiers, police, and other personnel. The investigation exposes the geographic and political contours of a U.S. training system that has, until now, largely defied thorough description. The data show training at no fewer than 471 locations in 120 countries — on every continent but Antarctica – involving, on the U.S. side, 150 defense agencies, civilian agencies, armed forces colleges, defense training centers, military units, private companies, and NGOs, as well as the National Guard forces of five states.
