Policy Justification

Saudi Arabia--Blanket Order Training

    The Government of Saudi Arabia requested a possible sale of 
continued blanket order training program inside and outside of the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that includes, but is not limited to, flight 
training, technical training, professional military education, 
specialized training, mobile training teams (MTTs), and English 
language training. These blanket order training cases cover all 
relevant types of training offered by or contracted through the U.S. 
Air Force or Department of Defense (DoD) Agencies, to include 
participation in CONUS DOD-sponsored education, as well as MTTs that 
will travel to Saudi Arabia. This training for the Royal Saudi Air 
Force (RSAF) and other Saudi forces will include such subjects as 
civilian casualty avoidance, the law of armed conflict, human rights 
command and control, and targeting via MTTs and/or broader Programs of 
Instruction (POIs). Program management, trainers, simulators, travel, 
billeting, and medical support may also be included. The estimated 
program cost is $750 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of an important partner which has been and continues to be a 
leading contributor of political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    This training would support the United States' continued commitment 
to Saudi Arabia's security and strengthen the U.S.-Saudi Arabia 
strategic partnership. Assisting the RSAF supports Saudi Arabia in 
deterring hostile actions and increases U.S.-Saudi Arabia military 
interoperability. It also helps their ability to work with coalition 
partners during training, exercises, and operations. Saudi Arabia will 
have no difficulty absorbing this training and support.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to Saudi Arabia.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale. All defense articles/services have been 
approved for release.
