U.S. models program to train Palestinian officers after successful effort in Iraq
RAMALLAH— The United States is working to form a professional officer corps for the Palestinian Authority.
Officials said the U.S. effort, directed by security coordinator Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton, began in 2009 and was designed to produced skilled and professional Palestinian officers. They said the program was based on similar courses provided by the U.S. military to its counterpart in Iraq.
"The idea is to build an officers corps based on patriotic and professional values rather than factional loyalty," an official said.
The so-called Senior Leaders Course has been conducted in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The two-month course focuses on basic skills, command and
specialty training.

I wonder what that will consist of?
If you read further down it says we've already trained 80. Anyone else thinking this could be a bad idea?
