POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Australia--120MM Tank Ammunition and Related Support Services

    The Government of Australia has requested the possible sale of six 
thousand thirty (6,030) rounds of M865 120mm Target Practice Cone 
Stabilized Discarding Sabot-Tracer (TPCSDS-T) Tank Projectiles and 
eight thousand six hundred ten (8,610) rounds of M1002 120mm Target 
Practice Multipurpose Tracer (TPMP-T) Tank Projectiles. Also included 
are U.S. Government technical services, technical data, and other 
related elements of logistical and program support. The total estimated 
program cost is $50 million.
    This sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national 
security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a 
major contributor to political stability, security, and economic 
development in the Western Pacific. Australia is an important Major 
non-NATO Ally and partner that contributes significantly to 
peacekeeping and humanitarian operations around the world. It is vital 
to the U.S. national interest to assist our ally in developing and 
maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.
    The proposed sale of 120mm tank ammunition will improve Australia's 
capability to meet out-year operational readiness and training 
requirements. Australia will use this ammunition to help sustain 
necessary training levels for its tank operators. Australia will have 
no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    This requirement will be provided from U.S. Army inventory. 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. or contractor representatives to 
Australia.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
