POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Lebanon--M1085A2 and M1078A2 Medium Tactical Vehicles
The Government of Lebanon has requested to buy 5-ton M1085A2 Medium
Tactical Vehicles (MTVs) without winch; 2.5-ton M1078A2 MTVs without
winch; spare and repair parts; publications and technical
documentation; personnel training and training equipment; technical,
and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics
and program support. The estimated total cost is $90.5 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security of the United States (U.S.) by improving the security of a
partner country that continues to be an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Lebanon's capability to meet current
and future threats by enabling Lebanese Armed Forces to rapidly engage
and defeat perimeter security threats and readily employ counter and
anti-terrorism measures. A highly mobile and medium tactical vehicle
capability will enable additional military-to-military tactics and
operational training between the U.S. and Lebanon. Lebanon will have no
difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Oshkosh Defense, located in
Oshkosh, WI. 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 Lebanon.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
