1.4 million US Training Yemeni Officers (2004)
Update: According to this website, The Federation of American Scientists the only transfer of arms from the US to Yemen 1999-2005 was this: Yemen 7/24/2002 DTC 189-02 Overhaul of J79 and J85 gas turbine aircraft engines, to be performed in South Korea Direct Commercial Sales.
(Jordan on the other hand got a lot including air to air missles. In the ’90’s Morocco got a lot of weapons for free. Wow, Saudi Arabia purchased over 2 billion in 2005 alone. Pakistan and Egypt purchased about 300 million in weapons in 2005.)
(The Arms Sales Monitoring Project keeps track of the administration’s notifications to Congress of proposed government-negotiated Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreements, export licenses for industry-negotiated Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), leases of equipment, and reduced price or free excess defense article (EDA) transfers.)
According to this State Department report in 2004, the US spent 1.4 million on training programs for Yemeni officers inthe US, mostly English language courses and some Naval training (standing up the Coast Guard) . Similiar amounts were spent on Morocco and Tunesia, with 3.1 million for Jordan. So no weapons, just English courses.
Just a note, while most are $10K increments for individual training, this item is for 10 people and a 14 month course:
