POLICY JUSTIFICATION

NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA)--Continuation of C-17 
Logistics Support Services and Equipment

    The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has requested the 
possible sale of follow-on support for three (3) C-17 aircraft to 
include participation in the Global Reach Improvement Program, contract 
labor for Class I modifications and kits, in-country contractor 
support, alternate mission equipment, major modification and retrofit, 
software support, aircraft maintenance and technical support, support 
equipment, personnel training and training equipment, additional spare 
and repair parts, technical orders and publications, airworthiness 
certification support, engine logistics support, inspections, and other 
U.S. Government and contractor engineering, logistics and program 
support. The total estimated program cost is $300 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States (U.S.) by providing sustainment 
for three (3) C-17s operated by a consortium of twelve nations, 
including the U.S. This program flies missions in and around Europe, 
Afghanistan, Iraq, the Levant, and North Africa. This proposed sale 
will provide a similar readiness level for these C-17s as U.S.-operated 
C-17s. The current FMS case supporting these C-17s will expire on 20 
September 2017.
    The proposed sale will advance U.S. and NATO policy goals of 
expanding the capabilities of strategic airlift to NATO allies and 
partners and sustain the ability to deploy in support of contingency 
operations outside of Europe. As the C-17 is a support asset, it would 
not affect the basic military balance in the region. NSPA will have no 
difficulty absorbing this support.
    The prime contractor will be the Boeing Corporation of Chicago, 
Illinois. 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 the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.
    There will be no adverse impact to U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale. All defense articles and services listed 
in this transmittal are authorized for release and export to the NSPA.
