POLICY JUSTIFICATION

United Arab Emirates (UAE)--Follow-On Blanket Order Training

    The Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has requested 
follow-on blanket order U.S. Marine Corps training, training support, 
and other training related services in support of the UAE Presidential 
Guard Command. The total value for this sale is $100 million.
    The Secretary of State has determined and provided a detailed 
justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale 
to the United Arab Emirates of the above defense articles (and defense 
services) in the national security interests of the United States, 
thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements under Section 
36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended.
    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 in the region.
    The proposed sale will provide the continuation of U.S. Marine 
Corps training of the UAE's Presidential Guard for counterterrorism, 
counter-piracy, critical infrastructure protection, and national 
defense. This training also provides engagement opportunities through 
military exercises, training, and common equipment. UAE will have no 
difficulty absorbing this training.
    The proposed sale of training will not alter the basic military 
balance in the region.
    There will be no principal contractor associated with this proposed 
sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed amendment to a current sale will 
allow for the continued permanent assignment of thirty-four (34) U.S. 
Marine Corps active duty personnel to the UAE.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
