Foreign Military Sales (FMS) is a program through which the United States government sells defense equipment, services, and training to foreign countries. This initiative aims to strengthen international security and promote cooperation among allies. The sales are conducted under the Arms Export Control Act, ensuring that transactions align with U.S. foreign policy and national security interests. FMS covers a wide range of military items, including aircraft, weapons, and support services. Countries interested in purchasing these items must submit requests, which are reviewed and approved by the U.S. government. This process helps ensure that military sales contribute to regional stability and security.
