THE NETWORK: Leaked Data Reveals How the U.S. Trains Vast Numbers of Foreign Soldiers and Police With Little Oversight
"A joint investigation by The Intercept and 100Reporters reveals the chaotic and largely unknown details of a vast network of global trainings, operations, facilities, and schools - a shadow network of US programs that annually cost around 200,000 foreign soldiers, police and other personnel The study reveals the geographic and political contours of a US training system, which has - until now - mocked every description.
The data is evidence of training facilities at at least 471 locations in 120 countries - on every continent except Antarctica. From the US side are involved: 150 defense agencies, civilian agencies, military academies, defense training, military units, private companies and non-governmental organizations, as well as the national guards of five states. Despite the fact that the Ministry of Defense has pumped around US $ 122 billion into such programs since 9/11, the scope and content of this training network are virtually unknown to most Americans.
