POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Republic of Iraq--Pilot and Maintenance Training Contractor Logistical 
Support (CLS) for Trainer Aircraft, and Base Support

    The Government of Iraq has requested a possible sale of pilot 
training; maintenance training; and contractor logistical services 
support for C-172, C-208, and T-6 aircraft for up to five (5) years to 
include contractor aircraft modification; repair and spare parts; 
publications; aircraft ferry; and miscellaneous parts, along with 
training base operation support, base life support, security, 
construction, and other related elements of program support. The 
estimated total program value is $1.06 billion.
    The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to provide for a 
stable, sovereign, and democratic Iraq, capable of combating terrorism 
and protecting its people and sovereignty. Iraq currently owns twelve 
(12) C-172, five (5) C-208, and fifteen (15) T-6 training aircraft. The 
training pipeline will allow the Iraqi Air Force to tailor pilot 
training for several U.S.-origin operational aircraft. The C-172s and 
T-6s are Iraq's training platforms for their mobility and fighter 
attack fleets. The C-208s are Iraq's platform of choice for training 
its Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) pilots.
    The proposed sale of training and support services will improve the 
Iraq's ability to train its pilots and maintenance technicians. By 
training its own pilots and maintenance technicians in-country, Iraq 
will decrease its overseas training requirements, significantly reduce 
its training costs, and will enhance its ability to take over the 
sustainment of its aircraft. Iraq will have no difficulty absorbing 
this support. In addition to its primary mission--pilot and maintenance 
training for Iraqi Air Force personnel--this proposed sale includes 
Contractor Logistical Support costs for the trainer aircraft, as well 
as possible future construction and base operation support costs.
    The proposed sale of this training and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor is Spartan College, Tulsa, OK. At this 
time, there are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of 
approximately four U.S. Government representatives and 50-55 contractor 
representatives to Iraq.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale. All training and support listed on this 
transmittal are authorized for release and export to the Government of 
Iraq.
