supply but critical to the operation of a weapon system—rotor blades for a helicopter, for example. A NIIN is a nine-digit code that identifies each item.


“Te dashboard will be used by Army demand planners to review the historic release of FMS requirements to determine if they were planned for properly and whether they were released prop- erly,” Neil said. “Te purpose is to determine whether the current regulation is being followed for the release of FMS requirements.”


Although both of these initiatives have been completed, Neil said it will take a couple of months of tracking data to see what effect these may have on the foreign military sales customer or the overall readiness posture of the Army.


Initiatives 3 and 4 establish edits within the Army’s database for foreign military sales, to allow more of the AMC critical mate- riel demands to be processed against a case that authorizes the materiel item managers to forecast the demands.


“Te central case management team will determine if the requi- sitioning country has a cooperative logistics supply support arrangement case that could be used to requisition the mate- riel,” Neil said. “If the answer is yes and the country agrees to the change, the team would advise the country to requisition against their logistics support agreement case. Tis allows the item manager to fill the requisition and also include that demand in the Army’s planning and forecasting process, which should, over time, allow for additional stocks to be on hand to fill future requirements.”


Initiative 5 establishes a process to assign an Army-coordinated lead time to each requisition for the NIINs defined by AMC to be problematic. Tis makes it possible for the item manager to acquire sufficient stock to meet the demand over time, rather than taking stock from existing inventory. According to Neil, this will allow the item manager the normal acquisition time to plan for, acquire the stock and fill the requisition without taking stock from on-hand inventory.


Neil said the remaining three initiatives are based on actions that could be taken by AMC leadership to provide weapon system spares to FMS customers.


Initiative 6 creates a “by exception” process to use alternative sources of supply to support new weapon system sales.


ARMY FMS PROCESS There are six steps in Army foreign military sales:


• Allies and partners submit a letter of request to USASAC for arms, defense equipment, defense services and military training.


• These requests are coordinated with the geographic combatant commands and the U.S. Department of State.


• The case is developed, which includes defining requirements, quantities, delivery, payment schedules, etc.


• A letter of offer and acceptance is submitted to DOD’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency. After it is approved, it is sent to the requesting country.


• In some cases, congressional notification and approval may be required.


• After the U.S. government and the ally or partner sign the letter of offer and acceptance, the ally or partner must provide initial funds for the case to officially begin.


USASAC personnel oversee all cases from cradle to grave.


“USASAC found instances where foreign military sales demands may have been filled more on a first-in, first-out basis instead of accurately following the existing Army regulatory guidance.”
