To improve interoperability with friendly foreign militaries, the Defense Secretary may share online training content. This needs the State Secretary's agreement and covers military and civilian staff of friendly foreign governments. Training includes internet-based courses and computer exercises, and must follow export-control laws.

(a) To build interoperability between U.S. forces and friendly foreign militaries, the Secretary of Defense, with the Secretary of State's agreement, may: give the personnel described in (b) electronically-distributed learning content, to train them for multinational operations like joint exercises and coalition operations; and give them information technology, including custom software, but only as much as needed to support using that learning content. (b) The people who can receive this content and technology are military and civilian personnel of a friendly foreign government, with that government's permission. (c) Any education or training given under (a) must include internet-based education and training, plus advanced distributed learning tools, distributed training, and computer-assisted exercises. (d) Giving out this learning content and technology must follow the Arms Export Control Act and any other law controlling the export of military technology to foreign countries. (e) The Secretary of Defense must write and issue guidance on how to use this authority. If the Secretary later changes that guidance, the Secretary must send Congress's relevant committees the updated guidance within 30 days of the change.
