COMMANDANT INSTRUCTION M4950.1 
 
Subj:  International Training Policy 
 
1. PURPOSE
.  This instruction promulgates information, guidance, and policy for the training of 
foreign nationals at Coast Guard training centers and operational units.  This instruction does 
not cover training provided during a bilateral/joint exercise, professional exchanges occurring 
during routine port visits, or the Coast Guard Academy.  
 
2. DISCUSSION
.  The Joint Security Assistance Training (JSAT) regulation applies to the four 
military services under the authority of the Department of Defense (DOD).  Since the Coast 
Guard participates in the DOD Security Assistance Program (SAP) and uses established SAP 
procedures as the basis for our international training efforts, the general guidelines and some of 
the Navy specific procedures provided in the JSAT are also applicable to the Coast Guard.  
 
3. ACTION
.  Area and district commanders shall use the enclosed document for information and 
procedural guidance.  Inquiries regarding implementation of this regulation are to be addressed 
to the International Affairs Training Coordinator (G-CI), at (202) 267-2280.
