POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia--Cooperative Logistics Supply Support
Arrangement Program, Foreign Military Sales Order II Case
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy a Cooperative
Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Foreign Military Sales
Order (FMSO) II case to requisition orders for centrally managed spares
and repair parts. This case supports the Royal Saudi Land Forces
Aviation Corps' UH-60A/L/M Black Hawk utility helicopters; AH-64A/D/E
Apache attack helicopters; CH-47F Chinook cargo helicopters; Schweizer
333 helicopters; and Aerial Scout helicopters; and other related
elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is
$500 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States (U.S.) by improving the
security of a partner country that contributes to political stability
and economic progress in the Gulf region.
The proposed sale will enhance Saudi Arabia's ability to
effectively maintain and operate their U.S.-procured helicopter fleet.
This will allow better integration with U.S.-led coalitions and operate
independently in support of U.S. interests and the security of U.S.
forces in theater and is consistent with U.S. bilateral and
multilateral defense plans in the Central Command region. Saudi Arabia
will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
military balance in the region.
There are no principal contractors involved with this potential
sale. 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.
