The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy blanket order
aviation training services for the Royal Saudi Land Forces Aviation
Corps (RSLFAC) from the U.S. Army. The following non-
[[Page 5441]]
MDE items will be included: initial through advanced rotary-wing flight
and maintainer training for personnel of the (RSLFAC) under sponsorship
of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The training
will be conducted by U.S. Army instructors on the AH-64E Apache, CH-47F
Chinook, UH-72A Lakota, and UH-60L/M Black Hawk Helicopters. The
estimated total cost is $500 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner
country that is a force for political stability and economic progress
in the Gulf Region.
The proposed sale will enhance Saudi Arabia's capability to meet
current and future threats by providing initial through advanced
aviation operator and maintainer training for the safe and professional
operation of the RSLFAC's U.S.-procured helicopter fleet. The Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing the training into its
armed forces.
The proposed sale of this training will not alter the military
balance in the region.
This training will be provided at various CONUS based U.S. Army
training sites under sponsorship of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
Command (TRADOC). At this time, the U.S. government is not aware of any
offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any
offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser
and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. government or contractor
representatives to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
There will be no adverse impact on defense readiness as a result of
this proposed sale.
