Army School of the Americas an army training school for U.S. and Latin American military personnel, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. In 1946, it was established as the Latin American Training Center-Ground Division at Fort Amador, Panama, and in 1950 it was moved to Fort Gulick and renamed The U.S. Army Caribbean School. It received its current name in 1963 and was moved to Fort Benning in 1984. Closed in December 2000 because of public protests over atrocities committed in South and Central America by its graduates, it reopened in January 2001 under the name
Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Its official academic language is Spanish.
