FM <strong>44</strong>-<strong>100</strong><br />
This typically takes the form of formal courses, orientation tours, <strong>and</strong> on-thejob<br />
training.<br />
8-23. The Air Defense Artillery School plays a major role in training allied<br />
soldiers on the <strong>us</strong>e of ADA systems. Allied soldiers learn how to <strong>us</strong>e, employ,<br />
<strong>and</strong> maintain the equipment. ADA units may be tasked to provide on-the-job<br />
training.<br />
FOREIGN MILITARY SALES PROGRAM<br />
8-24. The FMS program allows designated governments to purchase military<br />
equipment, services, <strong>and</strong> training. The sale of <strong>defense</strong> items may require<br />
training on the operation <strong>and</strong> maintenance of military equipment. Mobile<br />
training teams, resident instruction in US Army schools, <strong>and</strong> similar<br />
methods are <strong>us</strong>ed to conduct this training. The ADA School participates in<br />
the program; however, ADA units do not participate.<br />
NATION ASSISTANCE<br />
8-25. Nation assistance supports host nation’s efforts to promote<br />
development, ideally through the <strong>us</strong>e of host nation resources. The<br />
interagency orchestration of all the elements of national power is essential for<br />
success. It m<strong>us</strong>t be supportive of both the ambassador's country plan <strong>and</strong> the<br />
CINC's regional plans. The goals of nation assistance are as follows:<br />
• Promote long-term stability.<br />
• Develop sound <strong>and</strong> responsive democratic institutions.<br />
• Develop supportive infrastructure.<br />
• Promote strong free-market economies.<br />
• Provide an environment that allows for orderly political change <strong>and</strong><br />
economic progress.<br />
8-26. These can only be accomplished through education <strong>and</strong> the transfer of<br />
essential skills to the host nation, which will enable it to meet its own needs<br />
independent of external support. Nation assistance missions may occur in<br />
any environment.<br />
8-27. Air <strong>defense</strong> artillery units <strong>us</strong>ually do not participate in nation<br />
assistance <strong>operations</strong>. However, due to the general nature of tasks <strong>and</strong> the<br />
versatility of ADA units, participation on a limited basis in non-ADA areas is<br />
a possibility.<br />
SUPPORT TO COUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS<br />
8-28. Military efforts support <strong>and</strong> complement, rather than replace, the<br />
counterdrug efforts of other US agencies, the states, <strong>and</strong> cooperating foreign<br />
governments. Army support can occur in any or all phases of a combined <strong>and</strong><br />
synchronized effort to attack the flow of illegal drugs at the source, in transit,<br />
<strong>and</strong> during distribution. Army participation in counterdrug <strong>operations</strong> will<br />
normally be in support of law enforcement agencies.<br />
8-29. Support to host nations includes assistance to their forces to destroy<br />
drug production facilities; collaboration with host nation armed forces to<br />
prevent export of illegal drugs; <strong>and</strong> nation assistance to help develop<br />
