objectives of the United States by
sustaining the military capabilities of
Canada, a NATO ally that has been, and
continues to be, an important force for
ensuring political stability and
economic progress in the world,
including through its involvement in
military, peacekeeping, and
humanitarian operations. The
sustainment of Canada’s C–17s will
ensure the country’s continued
capability to rapidly deploy its forces, as
well as the continued interoperability
between the U.S. and Canadian Air
Forces’ C–17s.
The proposed sale of defense articles
and services is required to maintain the
operational readiness of the Royal
Canadian Air Force C–17 aircraft.
Canada’s current contract supporting its
five (5) C–17s will expire on 20
September 2017. The Royal Canadian
Air Force will have no difficulty
absorbing this support.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
Sources of supply will award
contracts when necessary to provide the
defense articles ordered if items ordered
are not available from U.S. stock or are
considered lead-time away.
The prime contractor will involve the
following contractors:
Boeing Company, Long Beach,
California
Boeing Company Training Systems, St.
Louis, Missouri
Lockheed Martin Corporation/MFC,
Lexington, Kentucky
There are no known offsets. Any
offset agreements will be defined in
negotiations between the purchaser and
the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale

There is an on-going foreign military
sales case providing C–17 sustainment
services. There are currently 13
contractors from Boeing in-country
providing contractor technical services
support on a continuing basis.
There will be no adverse impact to
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
