This proposed sale supports the Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki Initiative to train and equip an additional 30,000 additional Iraqi soldiers to accelerate the transition of combat operations in Iraq from Coalition to Iraqi National Forces, and is funded by Iraqi national funds. This proposed sale is critical in that it helps the Iraqi Government overcome internal contracting shortcomings, makes effective use of Calendar Year

The vehicles will advance the U. S. Government's efforts to transition combat operations to the Iraqi Armed Forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not affect the basic military balance in the region.
The contractors are unknown at this time. 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 representatives or contractor representatives to Iraq.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
