**POLICY JUSTIFICATION**
**Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement Program, Foreign Military Sales Order II Case**
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II case to requisition orders for centrally managed spares and repair parts. This case supports the Royal Saudi Land Forces Aviation Corps' UH-60A/L/M Black Hawk utility helicopters; AH-64A/D/E Apache attack helicopters; CH-47F Chinook cargo helicopters; Schweizer 333 helicopters; and Aerial Scout helicopters; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $500 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States (U.S.) by improving the security of a partner country that contributes to political stability and economic progress in the Gulf region.
The proposed sale will enhance Saudi Arabia's ability to effectively maintain and operate their U.S.-procured helicopter fleet. This will allow better integration with U.S.-led coalitions and operate independently in support of U.S. interests and the security of U.S. forces in theater and is consistent with U.S. bilateral and multilateral defense plans in the Central Command region. Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the military balance in the region.
There are no principal contractors involved with this potential sale. At this time, the U.S. government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will 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 the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
There will be no adverse impact on defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
