Transmittal No. 26-0W
Report of Enhancement or Upgrade of Sensitivity of Technology or 
Capability (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
    (i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Lebanon
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 25-79
    Date: December 16, 2025
    Implementing Agency: Army
    Funding Source: Foreign Military Financing
    (iii) Description: On December 16, 2025, Congress was notified by 
congressional certification transmittal number 25-79 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of one 
hundred forty (140) M1151A1 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles 
(HMMWVs). Also included were RF-7850M-HH multiband handheld radio; 
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver; Quicklook electronic counter-
counter measures (ECCM) waveform; spare and 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 
value was $34.5 million. Major defense equipment (MDE) constituted $31 
million of this total.
    This transmittal notifies the addition of the following MDE items: 
up to three hundred thirty (330) M1151A1 HMMWVs. The following non-MDE 
items will also be included: RF-7850M-HH multiband handheld radio, GPS 
receiver, Quicklook ECCM waveform; spare and repair parts; publications 
and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; 
technical and logistics support services; and other related elements of 
program and logistics support. The estimated total value of the new 
items is $34.5 million. The estimated MDE value will increase by $120 
million to a revised $151 million. The estimated non-MDE value will 
increase by $20 million to a revised $23.5 million. The estimated total 
case value will increase by $140 million to a revised $174.5 million. 
MDE constitutes $151 million of this total.
    (iv) Significance: This notification accounts for requested 
additional MDE and non-MDE items not included in the original 
notification. The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase in 
capability over what was previously notified. 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.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States 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.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: None
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: July 21, 2026
