POLICY JUSTIFICATION

United Arab Emirates (UAE)--Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II Case

    The Government of the United Arab Emirates has requested a Foreign 
Military Sales Order (FMSO) II to provide funds for blanket order 
requisitions under a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement 
(CLSSA) for common spares/repair parts to support the United Arab 
Emirates' fleet of AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook 
aircraft, additional support; and other related elements of logistics 
and program support. The estimated cost is $150 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security of the United States by helping to improve the security of an 
important partner in the region. This sale is consistent with U.S. 
initiatives to provide key partners in the region with modern systems 
that will enhance interoperability with U.S. forces and increase 
security.
    The proposed sale will allow the UAE Joint Aviation Command to 
continue to purchase needed spare/repair parts to maintain UAE's fleet 
of AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook helicopters as 
part of the Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA) 
program. The UAE will have no difficulty absorbing these defense 
articles and services into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the 
region.
    There are no principal contractors involved with this potential 
sale. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this 
potential sale.
    Implementation of this sale will not require the assignment of any 
U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the UAE.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
