Training can include a partner's navy, coast guard, and police, widening the institutional relationships formed during a deployment. Counterterrorism, counter-narcotics work, and high-end warfighting each signal a different priority and level of partnership. Methods designed around the sponsoring power's equipment and preferred way of war may be unsuitable for a partner that cannot support them. Effective assistance fits local capabilities and actual threats. Practical relevance makes training a durable form of naval diplomacy.
