POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia--Navy Blanket Order Training

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested the continuation of a 
naval blanket order training program inside and outside of Saudi Arabia 
that includes, but is not limited to English Language training, 
professional military education, technical training, publications and 
technical documentation, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, 
technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of 
logistical and program support. The estimated value is $250 million.
    This proposed sale will enhance the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a

[[Page 34652]]

strategic regional partner that has been, and continues to be, an 
important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    The proposed sale will enable Saudi Arabia and the Royal Saudi 
Naval Force (RSNF) to maintain military performance levels and provide 
an increased ability to meet current and future maritime threats. The 
training will support the RSNF in its role patrolling and providing 
protection for critical industrial infrastructure and for the sea lines 
of communications. The RSNF will also use the training to enhance 
interoperability with the United States and other coalition maritime 
forces. Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing these services.
    The proposed sale of this training will not alter the basic 
military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be Kratos Defense & Security Solutions of 
San Diego, CA. There are no known offset agreements in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of 
approximately 88 contractor representatives to Saudi Arabia for 
approximately three years to support personnel training. Implementation 
of this sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. 
Government representatives to Saudi Arabia.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
