POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Republic of Korea--Engines and Sustainment for MH-60R Multi-Mission 
Helicopters

    The Republic of Korea (ROK) has requested to buy six (6) T-700 GE 
401C or 401D engines. Also included are spare engine containers; spare 
and repair parts; ferry support; publications and technical 
documentation; personnel training and training equipment; U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support 
services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. 
The estimated total cost is $350 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and 
national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a 
major ally that is a force for political stability and economic 
progress in the Indo-Pacific region.
    The proposed sale will improve the ROK's capability to perform 
anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare missions along with the 
capability to perform secondary missions including vertical 
replenishment, search and rescue, and communications relay. The ROK 
will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and 
to strengthen its homeland defense. The ROK will have no difficulty 
absorbing this equipment 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 General Electric Company, 
located in Lynn, MA. There are no known offset agreements proposed in 
connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of the proposed sale will require eight U.S. 
Government and four contractor personnel to visit the ROK on a 
temporary basis for program technical oversight and support 
requirements, including program and technical reviews, as well as to 
provide training and maintenance support in country.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
