POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Netherlands--CH-47 and AH-64 Helicopter Training
The Government of the Netherlands has requested to buy training in
support of its CH-47 and AH-64 helicopter fleet. Included is training
ammunition; Army Supply Class I-VI and VIII-X items; information
technology (IT) equipment; ground components; parts and accessories;
Installation Management Command (IMCOM)-related service support; U.S.
Government and contractor personnel assistance; miscellaneous service
contract support; and other related elements of logistics and program
support. The estimated total cost is $305 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States by improving the
security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and
economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve the Netherlands' capability for
continued CH-47 and AH-64 helicopter training activities at Fort
Cavazos, Texas. Fort Cavazos hosts personnel and equipment from the
Royal Netherlands Air Force 302 Squadron. This training includes the
AMERICAN FALCON exercise, which serves as a certifying event for Dutch
military units and personnel to deploy abroad, who often support U.S.-
led coalition operations.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
A principal contractor is not associated with this proposed sale.
There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to the Netherlands.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
