Summary	In accordance with DoD Instruction 5410.17 and SECNAVINST 4950.4B, each International Military Student (IMS) attending a formal course in the United States under security cooperation (SC) and other related programs is given the opportunity to participate in the U.S. FSP. The FSP objective is to provide a view of U.S. society, institutions, and goals, outside the classroom. The FSP should include discussion with the IMS on the subjects of our government structure, judicial system, the political party system, the role of a free press and other communications media, cultural issues associated with minorities, the purpose and scope of labor unions, our economic system, educational institutions, and the way in which all of these elements reflect the U.S. commitment to the basic principles of internationally recognized human rights. The Field Studies Program is an integral part of the total training program, and is second in importance only to the military objectives for which the IMS is in training.
