POLICY JUSTIFICATION
United Arab Emirates (UAE)--Follow-On Blanket Order Training
The Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has requested
follow-on blanket order U.S. Marine Corps training, training support,
and other training related services in support of the UAE Presidential
Guard Command. The total value for this sale is $100 million.
The Secretary of State has determined and provided a detailed
justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale
to the United Arab Emirates of the above defense articles (and defense
services) in the national security interests of the United States,
thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements under Section
36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of an important partner in the region.
The proposed sale will provide the continuation of U.S. Marine
Corps training of the UAE's Presidential Guard for counterterrorism,
counter-piracy, critical infrastructure protection, and national
defense. This training also provides engagement opportunities through
military exercises, training, and common equipment. UAE will have no
difficulty absorbing this training.
The proposed sale of training will not alter the basic military
balance in the region.
There will be no principal contractor associated with this proposed
sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed amendment to a current sale will
allow for the continued permanent assignment of thirty-four (34) U.S.
Marine Corps active duty personnel to the UAE.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
