The Inter-American Defense College (IADC) is an international educational 
institution operating under the aegis and funding of the 
OAS 
and the Inter-American Defense Board. It provides a professionally oriented, 
multidisciplinary, graduate-level course of study. This eleven-month program 
provides senior military and government officials with a comprehensive 
understanding of governmental systems, the current international environment, 
structure and function of the Inter-American system, and an opportunity to study 
broad based security issues affecting the Hemisphere and the world. The IADC was 
formally opened on 9 October 1962.
Each member country of the OAS may submit candidates for attendance at the IADC. 
Since its beginning, over 1950 students from 23 different countries have 
graduated from the college. Over 40 percent of the graduates have risen to 
general officer/flag ranks or the civilian equivalent. They occupy senior 
leadership roles in their respective countries.
