Navy Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (NAVSCIATTS)

The U.S. Navy Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (NAVSCIATTS) trains navies and coast guards from Latin American countries in methods of countering international terrorism, narcotics trafficking, and smuggling. NAVSCIATTS offers Spanish-language courses in topics ranging from patrol boat navigation and tactics to small craft mechanics.

The NAVSCIATTS offered courses at Rodman Naval Station in Panama, which closed in 1999. The school now operates at Stennis Space Center in Gulfport, Mississippi.1

Funding for the training school is provided partly through the International Military Education and Training Program (IMET), which in the past provided about $550,000 a year for students to attend.

Recent IMET expenditures, in thousands of dollars, are as follows for the most recent years for which information is avaiable:
