POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Saudi Arabia--Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA)
Program, Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy a Foreign Military
Sales Order (FMSO) II to provide funds for blanket order requisitions
under a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA) for
common spares/repair parts to support the Royal Saudi Land Force's
(RSLF) fleet of Abrams tanks, M-60 tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles,
mortar carriers, Combat Engineer Vehicles, High Mobility Multipurpose
Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), Mine Resistance Ambush Protected (MRAP)
vehicles, Light Armored Vehicles (LAVs), howitzers, additional support
vehicles, components & accessories, pistols, rifles, crew-served
weapons, recoilless rifles, mortars, vehicle periscopes, night vision
devices, TOW launchers and missile parts, computer units, radar sets,
generators, testing/calibration equipment, communication equipment and
other related elements of logistics and program support. The total
estimated program cost is $500 million.
This proposed sale will support U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives by supporting a strategic partner's self-defense
and promoting stability in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will maintain Saudi Arabia's capability to meet
current and future threats by allowing the RSLF to continue to purchase
needed spare/repair parts, through their current CLSSA program, to
replenish in-country stocks required for general maintenance and
sustain the operability of RSLF equipment. The RSLF has participated in
the CLSSA program since 1965 and will have no difficulty absorbing
these items into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
There are no principal contractors involved with this potential
sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the permanent
assignment of any U.S. Government or contractor representatives to
Saudi Arabia.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
