The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable

publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for

POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Poland—Blanket Order Training
The Government of Poland has requested to buy training aids and other related elements of logistics and program support that will be added to a previously implemented case whose value was under the congressional notification threshold. The original Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case, valued at $95 million ($0 in major defense equipment (MDE)), included personnel training and training equipment; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. This notification is for a combined total of non-MDE training aids; personnel training and training equipment; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $200 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the U.S. by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political and economic stability in Europe.
The proposed sale will enhance Poland's capability to meet current and future threats and increase its interoperability with the U.S. and other NATO members and its allies through comprehensive U.S. Air Force Training. Poland will have no difficulty absorbing this training into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
There is no principal contractor associated with this potential sale. Training will be provided by U.S. Government or contract vendors based upon requirements as they are determined. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Poland.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
