Overview

• The DSCA delivered the required certification to Congress on August 8 approving a possible Foreign Military Sale of up to 60 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles and nine cargo trailers to Canada.
• The estimated not-to-exceed $160 million program cost covers JLTVs, non-major defense equipment and comprehensive logistics and training services.
• AM General has been named as the principal contractor with plans for U.S. government and contractor teams to manage fielding, training and maintenance over a period of up to six years.
• U.S. officials say the sale would strengthen Canada’s tactical mobility and burden-sharing among NATO allies without altering the basic military balance in the region.
• Final purchase agreements, quantities and costs remain subject to Canadian requirements, budget authority and negotiated sales contracts.
