1. RSO has explored the utility of establishing an
Investigative Counter-Terrorism Training and Advisor Program
(ITP) in Sanaa and recommended to the AMB, DCM and Country
Team that post not pursue the program, at this time.


2. ATA and RSO Sanaa have offered training courses to the
host government since 2000 and have noted a pattern of not
sustaining course precepts after training. The ROYG, at
present, is not prepared to sponsor a program of this
magnitude and maintain follow-on integrity of any office set
up as a result of the program. As well, RSO would not want
to use valuable ATA resources to support the two courses as
stand alone events.


3. RSO is drafting, in a SepTel, an ATA assessment cable for
the next two fiscal years. RSO will focus less on courses
that require officers to stay as an integral unit, instead,
will focus more on courses designed to teach command and
control structure, airport security, fraudulent travel
documents and crisis response.


4. RSO work with the host government for the next year and
try to prepare their senior leadership for sponsorship of a
program of this intensity. RSO intends to re-visit the ITP
program offer when the ROYG is fully prepared to support and
sustain the program.


5. Post appreciates S/CT and ATA's consideration of post for
this new initiative and requests the option of being able to
re-visit a course offering in the future.
