POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Norway—C–130J Sustainment 

The Government of Norway has 

requested continued sustainment and 

associated services for four (4) C–130J 

aircraft beyond Block 6 through 2028. 

Included are Joint Mission Planning 

Systems (JMPS); aircraft components, 

spare parts, consumables, and 

accessories; repair and return support; 

aircraft support and support equipment; 

unclassified publications and technical 

documentation; software delivery and 

support; unclassified Computer Program 

Identification Number (CPIN) systems; 

telecommunications support; minor 

modifications, maintenance and 

maintenance support; U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, technical, 

and logistics support services; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated total 

cost is $166 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a NATO 

Ally that is a force for political stability 

and economic progress in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Norway’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by bolstering operational 

readiness while enhancing air and 

defense capabilities with a modernized 

fleet. Norway already has C–130Js and 

will have no difficulty absorbing these 

articles and services 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 

Lockheed Martin, Marietta, GA. The 

purchaser typically requests offsets. Any 

offset agreement would be defined in 

negotiations between the purchaser and 

the contractor. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Norway. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness because of this 

proposed sale.

Needs and Uses: The 2001 National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 

contains specific sections addressing 

patient safety in military and veterans’ 

health care systems. This legislation 

states that the Secretary of Defense shall 

establish a patient care error reporting 

and management system to study 

occurrences of errors in patient care and 

that one purpose of the system should 

be to ‘‘identify systemic factors that are 

associated with such occurrences’’ and 

‘‘to provide for action to be taken to 

correct the identified systemic factors’’ 

(Sec. 754, items b2 and b3). In addition, 

the legislation states that the Secretary 

shall ‘‘continue research and 

development investments to improve 

communication, coordination, and 

teamwork in the provision of health 

care’’ (Sec. 754, item d4). As an ongoing 

response to this legislation, DHA 

Headquarters has implemented a webbased patient safety culture survey to 

obtain DHA staff opinions on patient 

safety issues. Participation in the DHA 

Patient Safety Culture Survey also 

fulfills The Joint Commission (TJC) 

accreditation requirements related to 

assessing patient safety culture and 

using the results to improve. As part of 

its Leadership Standards, TJC requires 

facility leaders to regularly evaluate the 

culture of safety and quality using valid 

and reliable tools and prioritize and 

implement changes identified by the 

evaluation. Additionally, DHA inpatient 

military treatment facilities (MTFs) 

recently began participating in The 

Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, an
