POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Lebanon--M1151A1 High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles
The Government of Lebanon has requested to buy an additional ninety
(90) M1151A1 High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) that
will be added to a previously implemented case whose value was under
the congressional notification threshold. The original Foreign Military
Sales case, valued at $12.26 million ($10.85 million in MDE), included
fifty M1151A1 HMMWVs. This notification
[[Page 11521]]
is for a combined total of one hundred forty HMMWVs. The following non-
MDE items will also be included: RF-7850M-HH multiband handheld radio;
Global Positioning System receiver; Quicklook electronic counter-
countermeasures waveform; spare parts, repair parts, publications and
technical documentation; training; U.S. Government and contractor
engineering; technical and logistics support services; and other
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total
cost is $34.5 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner country
that continues to be an important force for political and economic
stability in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will provide a highly mobile and light combat
vehicle capability enabling Lebanese Armed Forces to rapidly engage and
defeat perimeter security threats and readily employ counter- and anti-
terrorism measures. This acquisition will afford additional military-
to-military tactics and operational training among the U.S. Army's and
Lebanon's leadership and soldiers. 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 AM General, located in South Bend,
IN. 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.
