U.S.-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act
This bill authorizes the President to provide International Military Education and Training assistance to Greece to strengthen defense cooperation between the two nations. The program will fund training for future military leaders, improve understanding between the U.S. and Greek armed forces, and enhance their ability to work together in joint operations. It allocates $1.8 million annually for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support these educational and partnership initiatives. The legislation also emphasizes professional military education, civilian oversight of the military, and human rights protections within Greece's armed forces.
