Excerpt: “The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Czech Republic of Communications Equipment and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $181 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today. … This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe. The proposed sale will support the ongoing transformation of the Czech Armed Forces into a modern military that is properly trained, well equipped, and interoperable with U.S. and other NATO forces. The procurement would facilitate U.S. security goals by improving the Czech Republic’s ability to contribute to NATO efforts to secure the eastern flank of the Alliance and deter aggression in the region. It would also enhance the capabilities the Czech Republic could provide to NATO and coalition expeditionary operations.”
