POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Government of Canada--C-17 Sustainment
The Government of Canada has requested to buy major and minor
modifications; aircraft maintenance support equipment; ground handling
equipment; spare parts, consumables, and accessories, and repair and
return support; classified and unclassified software and delivery
support; classified and unclassified publications and technical
documentation; 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 $540 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the
military capability of a NATO Ally that is an important force for
ensuring political stability and economic progress and is a contributor
to military, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations around the
world.
The proposed sale will improve Canada's capability to meet current
and future threats by ensuring the operational readiness of the Royal
Canadian Air Force. Its C-17 aircraft fleet provides strategic airlift
capabilities that directly support U.S. and coalition operations around
the world. Canada already operates C-17 aircraft and 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 The Boeing Company, located in
Arlington, VA. 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 Canada.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
