For the last seventy years, the sale of American equipment to partner nations has formed the foundation of many U.S. security relationships. Foreign military sales (FMS) represent a key tool in the American foreign policy that provides needed security assistance to partners and allies around the world. The sale of U.S. hardware bolsters the American industrial base. It creates thousands of high-paying, high skill jobs while reducing the cost of innovative technologies that keep the U.S. and its allies one step ahead of our enemies. They enable our allies to defend themselves and help forge strong bilateral bonds with the U.S. In 2016 alone, the U.S. sold $33.6 billion in military equipment and training packages. The FMS process, however, can be slow and complex, leaving partner nations and American industry frustrated. The FMS process is administered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency and guided by the State Department. Congress has oversight of this crucial and sensitive program. This provides effective and transparent check on this key tool of U.S. foreign policy. Foreign military sales provide others countries with deadly weapons of war. The U.S. has negotiatied billions in FMS deals with Saudi Arabia, a partner in the war against the Islamic State and other radical groups in the Middle East. The U.S. must ensure that the countries to which it sells high-quality military equipment share our interests and values.

Download or read book Foreign Military Sales Air Force Controls Over the FMS Program Need Improvement written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arms Export Control Act gives the President authority to sell defense articles and services to eligible foreign countries, generally at no cost to the U.S. government. While the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has overall responsibility for administering the FMS program, the Army, Navy, and Air Force generally execute the sales agreements-commonly referred to as sales cases. Foreign military sales are made on an individual case basis. A foreign country representative initiates a case by sending a letter of request to DOD asking for information, such as the price and availability of goods, training, technical assistance, follow-on support, or other services. Once the customer decides to proceed with the purchase, DOD prepares a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) stating the terms of the sale for the items and services being provided. After the LOA is accepted, the FMS customer is generally required to pay, in advance, amounts necessary to cover costs associated with the services or items purchased from DOD. The Department of the Treasury holds these advance payments in an FMS trust fund.

Download or read book Foreign Military Sales Versus Direct Commercial Sales written by Metin Gultekin and published by . This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of arms from the U.S. to other countries under the Security Assistance Program is done in two basic ways: government-to-government Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and contractor-to-government Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). These methods help to increase standardization and interoperability between the U.S. and its Allies. This study examines the U.S. arms sales policies and procedures for FMS and DCS. It is aimed at identifying the advantages and weaknesses of these methods and to provide information to the Turkish Navy decision-makers for future arms procurements. The objective of this study is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Turkish Navy in procuring weapon systems/services from U.S. sources. The research found demonstrates that the choice of either FMS or DCS is driven by the special circumstances of the Turkish Navy, rather than by substantive differences in the two systems. The final decision on procurement methods with the U.S. depends on the country and items to be purchase. This study examines the major trade-offs between the FMS and DCS systems, and recommends the factors which the Turkish Navy should take into account to minimize costs, maximize effectiveness, and maximize efficiency.
