PARTNERS Act

S 3051, the PARTNERS Act, requires the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a joint training program with Mexico's military within 180 days of enactment. The program will train U.S. and Mexican forces together on tactics to counter transnational criminal organizations, including rotary-wing aircraft operations, joint network analysis, counter-narcotics trafficking, and assessing criminal organization activity. The plan must be submitted to congressional committees and implementation must begin within 15 days of plan approval. This bill directly affects U.S. military operations, Mexico's armed forces, and U.S. congressional oversight committees.
