POLICY JUSTIFICATION

The Government of Iraq-AC-208 Sustainment, Logistics, and Spares 
Support

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of a five-year 
sustainment package for its AC/RC-208 fleet that includes: Operational, 
intermediate, and depot-level maintenance; spare parts; component 
repair; publication updates; maintenance training; and logistics. Also 
included in this sale are Contract Logistics Services (CLS), training 
services, and Contract Engineering Services. There is no MDE associated 
with this possible sale. The total overall estimated value is $181 
million.
    The purchase of this sustainment package will allow the Iraqi Air 
Force (IqAF) to continue to operate its fleet of eight C-208 light 
attack and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) 
aircraft beyond the June 2016 end of its existing CLS contract. Limited 
IqAF maintenance capability necessitates continued CLS. Ultimately, the 
goal is for the IqAF to become self-sufficient in the areas of aircraft 
maintenance and logistics training. Iraq will have no difficulty 
absorbing this support.
    The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security goals of the United States by helping to improve a 
critical capability of the Iraq Security Forces in defeating the 
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractors will be Orbital ATK in Falls Church, 
Virginia, and Flight Safety International in Flushing, New York. There 
are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this 
potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to Iraq.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
    All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have 
been authorized for release and export to the Government of Iraq.
