==U.S./Nepal military relations==
The U.S.-Nepali military relationship focuses on support for democratic institutions, [[civilian control of the military]], and the professional military ethic to include respect for human rights. Both countries have had extensive contact over the years. Nepali Army units and Nepali Army Air Service units have served with distinction alongside American forces in places such as Haiti, Iraq, and Somalia.

U.S.-Nepali military engagement continues today through IMET, [[Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities]] (EIPC), and various conferences and seminars. The U.S. military sends many Nepali Army officers to America to attend military schooling such as the [[Command and General Staff College]] and the [[U.S. Army War College]]. The IMET budget for FY2001 was $220,000.

The [[EPIC program]] is an interagency program between the Department of Defense and the Department of State to increase the pool of international peacekeepers and to promote interoperability. Nepal received about $1.9 million in EPIC funding.

[[Commander United States Pacific Command]] (CDRUSPACOM) coordinates military engagement with Nepal through the [[Office of Defense Cooperation]] (ODC). The ODC Nepal is located in the American Embassy, [[Kathmandu]].
