POLICY JUSTIFICATION

(U) United Arab Emirates (UAE)--Exercise Participation Support

    (U) The Government of the UAE requested a possible sale to include 
participation in military exercises, aerial refueling, airlift and 
ferry support, training aids/devices/munitions, technical and logistics 
support services, and other related elements of logistical and program 
support. The estimated cost is $75 million.
    (U) This proposed sale contributes to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a major regional ally which has been, and continues to be, 
an important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    (U) This proposed sale contributes to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
ability of the UAE to employ its fighter aircraft in a multi-country 
coalition environment, such as Red Flag and Green Flag exercises. 
Participating in major exercises has enhanced the UAE's continued and 
consistent role in support of Coalition Operations. The UAE is a 
steadfast coalition partner in the fight against radical Islamic forces 
such as ISIL and Al Qaeda (AQAP) in the Arabian Peninsula.
    (U) The proposed sale of this equipment and support does not alter 
the basic military balance in the region.
    (U) Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to the UAE.
    (U) There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale. All defense articles and services are 
approved for release by our foreign disclosure office.
