Book excerpt: In FY 2008, the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program sold over $36 billion dollars in defense articles and services to foreign governments. The Depts. of State, DoD, and Homeland Security (DHS) all have a role in the FMS program. In 2003, significant weaknesses were identified in FMS control mechanisms for safeguarding defense articles transferred to foreign governments. The protection of technologies critical to U.S. national security is a high-risk area. This report: (1) evaluates program changes made since 2003 to ensure that unclassified defense articles transferred to foreign governments are authorized for shipment and monitored; and (2) determine what info. DoD has to administer and oversee the FMS program. Charts and tables.
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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State, DOD, and DHS have made some changes in the program but have not corrected weaknesses we previously identified in the FMS program?s shipment verification process, and DOD's expanded monitoring lacks written guidance for selecting countries for compliance visits. First, State has not finalized its regulations to establish DOD's role in the FMS shipment verification process, and CBP port officials lack information needed to verify that FMS shipments are properly authorized. As a result, of the port data we reviewed, we found six FMS sales agreements where CBP permitted shipments of defense articles to the foreign country even though DOD records showed that shipments were no longer authorized under the agreements. CBP officials stated that a planned centralized data system could provide the needed information to port officials so they can verify FMS shipments, but the planned system does not currently have funding to include such export information. Second, DOD lacks mechanisms to fully ensure the correct FMS shipments reach the right foreign customers-in part because DOD does not track most FMS shipments once they leave DOD supply centers and continues to rely on the foreign governments to notify the department when a shipment has not been received. Finally, since 2003, DSCA personnel have led teams to visit 19 out of 76 countries that have purchased sensitive defense articles, such as Stinger missiles, under the FMS program. However, DOD does not have written guidance to prioritize compliance monitoring visits using a risk management approach, and DSCA has not yet conducted such visits in countries with a high number of uninventoried defense articles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the organization and procedures presently established to deal with Navy Foreign Military Sales (FMS). It focuses on the program office responsible for implementation of the case and ultimate delivery of the system which has been purchased. The paper, first, describes the Navy's basic organization and how it relates to DOD and State Department Security Assistance Offices. The following section tracks a typical FMS case from receipt of the customers purchase request, through agreement on sale, to final execution of the case. The paper concludes with a discussion of specific issues relating to financial management problems which currently are being evaluated in the Navy. These issues deal with the requirement to price out a proposed sale and how funds are managed after case implementation. Poor price estimates affect relations with the foreign customers and cause considerable administrative difficulties which result in lost time and possibly, financial loss. Recommendations concentrate on the means by which the accuracy and completeness of price estimates can best be achieved. The funds management problem is primarily associated with the sale of ships. The question of how funds should be controlled impacts on the administration of the SCN account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) use of stabilized rates for charging foreign military sales (FMS) customers for goods and services sold through DOD's Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF), focusing on whether: (1) there is a dollar difference in pricing goods and services at full cost compared to the stabilized rate; and (2) DOD's current practice of billing foreign customers at the stabilized rate is consistent with the full cost requirements of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. GAO noted that: (1) DOD's stabilized rate generally is designed to recover full costs from DOD and FMS customers over the long term; (2) the concept of applying the stabilized rate is a viable method to recover the cost of goods and services from these customers; (3) GAO's analysis of cost elements in the stabilized rates showed that generally, the stabilized rate included the cost elements necessary to recover full cost; (4) however, GAO did identify two cost elements--pension and postretirement health benefits--related to retirement benefit costs of civilian personnel working on FMS cases, that were not included in the stabilized rates; (5) GAO estimates that Working Capital Fund (WCF) supply activities undercharged FMS customers at least $40.5 million during fiscal years (FY) 1992 through 1996 and will undercharge millions more in FY 1997; (5) GAO discussed this matter with DOD officials and they agreed that not all civilian retirement benefit labor costs were included in the rates that activities were charging FMS customers; and (6) they now plan to revise their policy to require that this cost be included in the prices charged FMS customers.
