non-NATO Ally and partner that
contributes significantly to
peacekeeping and humanitarian
operations around the world. It is vital
to the U.S. national interest to assist our
ally in developing and maintaining a
strong and ready self-defense capability.
The proposed sale of 120mm tank
ammunition will improve Australia’s
capability to meet out-year operational
readiness and training requirements.
Australia will use this ammunition to
help sustain necessary training levels
for its tank operators. Australia 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.

proposed sale.
