The estimated cost is $579 million. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic partner. This proposed sale directly supports the Government of Iraq and serves the interests of the people of Iraq and the United States. The proposed sale of the M1151 HMMWVs would facilitate progress towards increasing the Iraqi Security Force's mobility and self-defense capabilities. Iraq will use the HMMWVs to increase the safety, effectiveness, and self-reliance of the Iraqi Security Forces. Iraq will have no difficulty absorbing these additional HMMWVs into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be AM General in South Bend, Indiana. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connections with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require U.S Government or contractor representatives to travel to Iraq. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. [FR Doc. 2014-30943 Filed 1-5-15; 8:45 am]
