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.
