The Secretary of Defense must run the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School. It trains foreign military and security forces in small-craft skills, human rights, and teamwork with U.S. forces. The Navy pays the school's costs, and the Secretary reports on it to Congress each year.

(a) The Secretary of Defense must operate an education and training facility called the "Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School" (called "the School" in this section). (b) The Secretary must name the Secretary of a military department as the Defense Department's lead agent for running the School. (c) The School's purpose is to train the military and other security forces of friendly foreign countries in naval small-craft operation, and to build professionalism, readiness, and respect for human rights. It does this through formal courses or mobile training teams covering: (1) operating, using, maintaining, and supplying specialized equipment; (2) taking part in joint exercises or coalition and international military operations; and (3) improving how well the U.S. armed forces work together with foreign military and security forces. (d) The Secretary can't let the School train personnel from a country that other laws bar from receiving that training. (e) The School's fixed costs may come from Navy funds this way: (1) operating and maintenance funds pay for running and maintaining the School, procurement funds pay for its equipment, and military construction funds pay for building its facilities. (2) Operation-and-maintenance funds can also pay for feeding students, staff, and visitors, and for running or contracting the dining facility. (3) Tuition charged to students can't include any amount for those fixed operating costs. (f) By March 15 each year, the Secretary of Defense -- with the State Department's agreement -- must send Congress a detailed report on the School's activities and operating costs for the past fiscal year.
