POLICY JUSTIFICATION

The Netherlands--F-16 Formal Training Unit at Tucson Air National Guard 
Base (ANGB), Arizona

    The Government of the Netherlands has requested to buy defense 
articles and services in support of continuation of a Continental 
United States (CONUS) based Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Formal 
Training Unit, to include up to twenty-seven (27) GBU-12 Inert Paveway 
IIs. Also included are PGU-27 Inert training rounds, Impulse 
Cartridges, MJU-7/B Flares, RR-188 Chaff, BDU-33/B and BDU-50/B 
training munitions, fuel and air refueling support, airlift services, 
base operating support, facilities, publications and technical 
documentation, pilot training, personnel training and training 
equipment, weapon system and software support, U.S. Government and 
contractor technical, engineering, and logistics personnel services, 
and other related elements of logistics and program support. The 
estimated program value is $110 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a 
NATO Ally which is an important force for political stability and 
economic progress in Europe.
    This potential sale will continue to improve the Royal Netherlands 
Air Force's (RNLAF) ability to develop mission-ready and experienced 
pilots to support its F-16 aircraft inventory. The well-established 
pilot proficiency training program at Tucson Air National Guard Base 
will train pilots in F-16 operations, tactics, techniques, and 
procedures. This training will enhance the RNLAF's ability to continue 
contributions to Overseas Contingency Operations and to NATO air 
policing operations, as well as, to possible future coalitions 
operations. The Netherlands will have no difficulty absorbing this 
training.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    There is no prime contractor involved in this proposed sale. The 
Tucson Air National Guard will provide instruction, flight operations, 
and maintenance support and facilities with defense articles 
anticipated to come from U.S. stocks, as needed. 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 personnel or contractor 
representatives to the Netherlands.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
