Yep. the US Army Institute for Military Assistance was an early name for the JFK Special Warfare Center (that name adopted in 1982).

One of the other US certificates from the Office of Public Safety, USAID, State Dept established in 1970 (so he was one of the first foreign students there). It was dissolved in mid-70s and functions picked up by various law enforcement agencies. Around that same time the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center was established; this is still run by the Department of Homeland Security and has a huge international student population. DEA, FBI etc have attaches in Embassies abroad and run training programs for foreign partners.
