    About this ebook

    Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this study analyzes how and why events in Iraq over the past 12 years affected Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs, assesses the threat of competing Russian to Iraq arms sales, and determines the future of Iraq FMS sales considering the nature of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) conflict. U.S. FMS strategy in Iraq should focus on counterterrorism operations, increase end-user monitoring of U.S. equipment, and increase direct commercial sales to defeat ISIL in a new war context. The recommendations in this thesis seek to inform U.S. policymakers on future U.S. FMS strategy to Iraq and other countries where FMS agreements do not address asymmetric threat requirements or meet expected delivery timelines.

    The United States uses FMS programs as a way and means to achieve strategic ends with foreign nations. In Iraq, the United States uses FMS as a diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instrument of national power to influence political-military action and economically benefit both nations. The Office of Security Cooperation-Iraq (OSC-1) runs the FMS program under U.S. Chief of Mission-Baghdad authority with the oversight and advice from personnel in Washington, D.C., including the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. FMS programs, or cases, require Congressional approval to ensure proper funding allocation and assurances that U.S. weapons and technology will not fall into the hands of adversaries.'
