POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Kuwait--C-17 Sustainment
The Government of Kuwait has requested to buy the following non-
major defense equipment: major and minor modification equipment and
support; aircraft components, parts, and accessories; instruments and
lab equipment; spares and repair parts, consumables and accessories,
and repair and return support; ground handling equipment; unclassified
Computer Program Identification Numbers; pyrotechnics equipment;

personnel training and training equipment; jet fuel; 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 $484 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a
major non-NATO ally that has been an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Kuwait's capability to meet current
and future threats by ensuring the operational readiness of its C-17
fleet. Kuwait's C-17 fleet provides strategic airlift capabilities that
directly support U.S. and coalition operations around the world. Kuwait
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 contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Kuwait.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed
