Policy Justification

Greece--FMSO II, CLSSA Services

    The Government of Greece has requested to buy U.S. Government, 
technical, and logistics support services and requisitions supporting 
the Foreign Military Sales Order II (FMSO II) and Cooperative Logistics 
Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) for stock replenishment, supply of 
standard spare parts, and repair/replace of spare parts to support the 
Hellenic Air Force's defensive and transport aerial fleets; all other 
aircraft systems and subsystems; and other related elements of program 
support. The estimated total cost is $165 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a NATO ally, which is an important partner for political 
stability and economic progress in Europe.
    The proposed sale will improve Greece's capability to meet current 
and future threats by providing agile logistics support to active 
Foreign Military Sales support cases, including Greece's defensive and 
transport aerial fleets, as well as other support equipment of U.S. 
origin that are currently in use with the Hellenic Air Force and which 
can be supported by the CLSSA program. The ability to place blanket 
order requisitions will increase its interoperability with NATO forces 
and enhance its ability to provide for the security of its borders. 
Greece has demonstrated a continued commitment to modernizing its 
military and will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its 
armed forces.
    The proposed sale of these services will not alter the basic 
military balance in the region.
    There are no principal contractors for this proposed sale. There 
are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this 
potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives outside the United States.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
