POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Saudi Arabia—Security Assistance 

Office (SAO) Support Services, U.S. 

Training Mission to Saudi Arabia 

(USMTM) 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has 

requested U.S. Security Assistance 

Office (SAO) support services to include 

technical assistance and advisory 

support to the Kingdom of Saudi 

Arabia’s Ministry of Defense (MOD) for 

an additional five years, through the 

U.S. Military Training Mission to Saudi 

Arabia (USMTM) located in Riyadh, 

Saudi Arabia. SAO support services 

provided includes: Pay and allowances 

for U.S. Military, U.S. Government, and 

Foreign National staff members; 

USMTM communications support costs; 

local contracting costs; construction and 

renovation costs of housing area; 

transportation costs; U.S. Mail services 

support costs; dependent education 

(grades K through 12); administrative 

costs; temporary duty costs for USMTM 

personnel; Value Added Taxes (VAT) 

assessed by Saudi Arabia; future 

transition costs to move USMTM to a 

proposed new housing location in Saudi 

Arabia; and other related elements of 

logistical and program support. The 

total estimated cost is $350 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a friendly 

country that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

Middle East. 

This proposed sale will continue to 

improve Saudi Arabia’s capability to 

meet current and future threats by 

utilizing USMTM’s continued efforts to 

train, advise, and assist the Saudi 

Arabian Armed Forces to build defense 

capacity and capability through military 

exercises and professional military 

education. USMTM conducts noncombat, institutional advising that 

assists the MOD in developing, training, 

and sustaining a capable deterrent to 

regional threats. 

The proposed sale of this support and 

services will not alter the basic military 

balance in the region. 

There is no prime contractor 

associated with this proposed sale. 

There are no known offset agreements in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will continue to require the permanent 

assignment of approximately 330 U.S. 

Military, U.S. Government, and Foreign 

National USMTM staff members to 

Saudi Arabia. Additional Training 

Advisory Field Teams (TAFT) and 

Support teams will travel to the country 

on a temporary basis as required. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Canada – C-17 Sustainment 

The Government of Canada has 

requested to buy C-17 sustainment 

support to include aircraft hardware and 

software modification and support; 

software delivery and support; ground 

handling equipment; component, parts 

and accessories; GPS receivers; 

alternative mission equipment; 

publications and technical 

documentation; contractor logistics 

support and Globemaster III 

Sustainment Program (G3) participation; 

other U.S. Government and contractor 

engineering, technical, and logistical 

support services; and related elements 

of program and logistical support. The 

total estimated program cost is $275 

million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the military 

capability of Canada, a NATO ally that 

is an important force for ensuring 

political stability and economic 

progress, and a contributor to military, 

peacekeeping and humanitarian 

operations around the world. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Canada’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by sustaining their 

strategic air lift capability, which allows 

Canada to maintain sovereignty and 

homeland defense, increase 

interoperability with the United States 

and other partners, and deter potential 

adversaries. Canada already operates the 

C-17 and will have no difficulty 

absorbing the additional sustainment or 

upgrades into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be The 

Boeing Company, Chicago, IL. There are 

no known offset agreements 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 to Canada. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
