Policy Justification 

Iraq—Foreign Military Sales Order II 

(FMSO II) 

The Government of Iraq has requested 

a Foreign Military Sales Order II (FMSO 

II) to provide funds for blanket order 

requisitions, under a Cooperative 

Logistics Supply Agreement (CLSSA) 

for spare parts to support M1A1 Battle 

Tanks, M1070 Heavy Equipment 

Tactical Trucks, M88A1/2 Tank 

Recovery Vehicles, M113 Vehicles, 

M198 Towed Howitzers, M109A5 Self 

Propelled Howitzers, High Mobility 

Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles 

(HMMWV), Heavy Expanded Mobility 

Tactical Trucks (HEMTT), heavy and 

light machine guns, common repair sets, 

and additional authorized items with 

associated equipment and services. The 

estimated cost is $600 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a strategic 

partner. This proposed sale directly 

supports the Government of Iraq and 

serves the interests of the people of Iraq 

and the United States. 

Iraq requires continuing procurement 

and repair of spare parts through the 

U.S. Government’s FMSO II program in 

order to maintain its military fleets of 

tanks, vehicles, and other associated 

equipment. The spare parts and repair 

sets to be procured under this proposed 

sale are critical for maintaining these 

ground transportation vehicles in 

operational condition. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

General Dynamics Land Systems in 

Sterling Heights, Michigan. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require U.S. Government representatives 

or contractors to travel to Iraq. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The APKWS II All-Up-Round 

(AUR) is an air-to-ground weapon that 

consists of an APKWS II Guidance 

Section (GS), legacy 2.75-inch MK66 

Mod 4 rocket motor and legacy MK152 

and MK435/436 warhead/fuze. The 

APKWS is a tactical rocket system that 

can be launched from several platforms, 

offering multi-mission, multi-target 

capability and precision-strike lethality. 

These guided rockets are steered to the 

target by following reflected laser beam 

energy directed onto the target either by 

the launching aircraft, a second aircraft, 

or ground-based troops operating a laser 

designator. Hardware is Unclassified; 

information related to performance, 

effectiveness, vulnerabilities and 

counter-measure is classified up to 

Secret. 

2. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of a system with 

similar or advanced capabilities. 

3. A determination has been made 

that the recipient country can provide 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This sale is 

necessary in furtherance of the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy 

Justification. Any defense articles or 

services offered under this notification 

will only be delivered if the recipient 

has appropriate storage, security, and 

procedures in place to properly protect 

those items. 

4. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Iraq.
