United Kingdom Seeks Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership

Program Presented To Congress July 1st Would Cost $390 Million

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress July 1 of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the United Kingdom for continued participation in the USAF/Boeing Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, which consists of support for the United Kingdom's fleet of seven Boeing C-17A Globemaster III cargo aircraft and includes associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $390 million.

The Government of the United Kingdom has requested continued participation in the USAF/Boeing Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership which consists of support for the United Kingdom's fleet of seven Boeing C-17A Globemaster III cargo aircraft, contractor technical and logistics personnel services, support equipment, spare and repair parts, and other related elements of logistics support.

The United Kingdom is a major political and economic power in NATO and a key democratic partner of the U.S. in ensuring peace and stability in this region and around the world.

The program will ensure the United Kingdom can effectively maintain its current force projection capability that enhances interoperability with U.S. forces. The support will provide UK and other NATO forces with rapid global strategic mobility to deploy to austere locations. The United Kingdom is a staunch supporter of the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan and in overseas contingency operations.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
