POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Libya--General Purpose Force Training
The Government of Libya has requested a sale of training for a
6,000 to 8,000 person General Purpose Force. The training includes
services for up to 8 years for training, facilities sustainment and
improvements, personnel training and training equipment, 637 M4A4
carbines and small arms ammunition, U.S. Government and contractor
technical and logistics support services, Organizational Clothing and
Individual Equipment (OCIE), and other related elements of logistical
and program support. The estimated cost is $600 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of Libya.
The proposed sale will enable Libya to develop, and train a General
Purpose Force. The basic, collective and advanced training will be
critical for establishing a professional and disciplined General
Purpose Force used in protecting Libya's institutions, facilities, and
personnel as well as keeping peace and security within Libya.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractors are unknown at this time but will be
determined during the competitive bid process. There are no known
offset agreements in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
350 U.S. Government and contractor personnel for up to 8 years to
conduct training at the Novo Selo training site in Bulgaria.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
